Abstract
A device for the collection of a liquid, such as urine, which provides efficient means for both collecting the liquid and transferring it to a tube for storage. A collection container is provided with a hollow cannula attached to its bottom. The cannula is slotted near its base, and serves as the conduit through which liquid may be transferred from the container to an evacuated tube. When the stopper of such a tube is punctured by the cannula, the pressure difference causes liquid deposited in the receptacle to be drawn through the slot, the hollow cannula, and into the tube.
