Abstract
A specimen collection, storage, transport, and testing device () can include an outer vessel () containing an internal cup () having an openable drain () having a brim () raised above the bottom floor () of the cup. Once opened the drain allows a portion of liquid specimen to flow from the cup into a lower chamber () of the vessel and onto a cartridge () containing a number of chromatographic assay strips. A lid () sealing the vessel can include a downwardly projecting guide tube () having first barrier () sealing a bottom aperture (). An oblong initiator () can axially engage the guide tube, break the first barrier and open the drain to initiate the test while retaining a pool of liquid specimen in the cup for subsequent confirmatory testing.
