Abstract
A collection system for collecting a liquid test sample that includes a spoon-like member having a bowl portion for collecting and holding the test sample, a handle member housing a test device, and a channel member joining the bowl portion to the handle member is disclosed. The channel member provides an elongated passageway for transferring the test sample to the test device. A cap is releasably mounted on the channel member and covers the bowl portion and the channel member. The bowl portion and channel member are inclined slightly upwardly from the horizontal thereby allowing the test sample to flow from the bowl portion, through the channel member, and into the handle member. A cover is releasably mounted on the channel member and can be secured to the handle member.
