  • Patent number: 5498395
    Abstract: A collection and separation funnel for urine, other body fluids, or environmental samples has dual downspouts so that liquid entering the funnel flows in part down a first downspout and in part down a second downspout. A centrifuge tube is releasably connected to each downspout to receive the liquid. This enables detachment of the centrifuge tubes for delivery to different laboratories. A stand releasably receives the lowermost ends of each centrifuge tube so that the device is free standing and need not be held at the time of liquid collection. A lid is provided for the funnel to facilitate its transportation, and individual lids are provided for each centrifuge tube.
