Abstract
A urine collection cup device is provided including a clear plastic cup, a reagent strip disposed against an inner surface of the cup and adhered thereto by means of a plastic laminate or adhesive member. An aperture is provided in the adhesive member on a sample introduction end of the reagent strip to enable a fluid sample to be introduced onto the reagent strip. By capillary action the fluid migrates up the reagent strip and causes a visible indication of test validity and test results. A second aperture covered with a hydrophobic material is provided adjacent the reagent strip end to enable air to vent from the strip while preventing fluid specimen from entering therein.
