Abstract
A blood microcollection container and associated collection assembly is provided for engaging a puncture wound and rapidly receiving blood from the wound. The assembly incorporates a scoop arrangement for engaging the blood source, and for directing in a rapid and efficient manner the blood to a collection chamber. A two-position cap is provided for sealing the scoop collector of the assembly prior to use, and for permanently locking to the collector after use to prevent exposure to the blood sample by the person handling the blood sample, or contamination of the blood sample from outside sources.
