Abstract
A spill proof liquid sample cup is provided having an outer shell and an inner liner. The inner liner defines a sample chamber. The inner liner is spaced inwardly from the outer shell such that a test chamber is formed between the outer shell and the inner liner that is fluidly separate from the sample chamber. The inner liner is configured with a valve to allow selective fluid communication between the sample chamber and the test chamber. The valve is actuatable by either removing a bottom cap, manual manipulation, or by an external tool. One or more test strips are located within the test chamber to provide information about the sample fluid.
