  • Patent number: 7981382
    Abstract: A device for collecting, testing and storing fluids includes a container and a removable cap. Body fluids, such as urine, are collected in the container. The cap defines a test strip holder that receives one or more drug test strips and an adulteration strip. An opening defined through a bottom of the cap provides fluid communication between the container and the cap. When tilted, fluid from the container enters the cap through the hole. A variety of plugs may be employed to block the opening and thereby prevent fluid communication between the container and the cap after fluid has entered the cap. The remaining uncontaminated and untested body fluid is stored in the container and thus made available for further confirmation testing. Associated methods for collecting, testing and storing fluids with a single device are also provided. A method of manufacturing the foregoing test device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20110044856
    Abstract: A drug test device for bodily fluids, such as urine, includes a cup and a removable lid which houses one or more test strips. The lid is releasably locked onto the cup so as to align dipping ends of the test strips exposed through an underside of the lid with a position stabilizer, thereby causing the dipping ends to be located downwardly and submerged in fluid when the device is placed on its side in a reactive position. The position stabilizer may comprise a sidewall indentation that reduces the internal volume of the cup and keeps the cup from rolling when placed on its side.

  • Patent number: 6875185
    Abstract: A lateral flow immunoassay contact chemical test device and method integrates sample collection, prescreen testing, and confirmation sample collecting and storing with a single device and a minimum of steps. While particularly advantageously used with an oral fluid sample absorbed directly from a person's mouth, (in which constant monitoring of a collection process is made possible), the test device may be used with any of a variety of sample fluids. Prescreen testing and confirmation testing are performed on a single sample. Prescreen testing is performed by a lateral flow assay. The sample collection pad is subsequently separated from the wicking path to prevent continued migration from, and backflow into the sample collection pad, so that the confirmation sample is preserved in the sample collection pad. A multitude of antigens can be detected with a single device.
