  • Patent number: 8491855
    Abstract: Collection containers for urine and other liquid samples are described. The collection containers include a handle attachment which allows a handle to be attached. Use of the handle reduces the likelihood that patients will soil their hands while providing urine and other samples into the collection container. In addition, the handle attachment allows a portion of the sample to be transferred through it and into a handle that also acts as a test container. The collection containers are also biodegradable and reduce the amount of waste generated.

  • Patent number: 7666667
    Abstract: A safety bio-molecular sampling and transport system utilizing a docking connector mechanism includes a elongate enclosure having open ends along with a collection sponge slidably disposed within the enclosure. A sponge moving piston is provided within the enclosure and is engagable with a plunger handle which is configured for removably engaging the piston and enabling manual sliding of the collection sponge between the position inside of the elongate structure and a position exterior another end of the enclosure. A specimen capsule configured for removably docking to the enclosure is provided for receiving specimen and is sealable for safe and laborless transport thereof.

  • Patent number: 7195602
    Abstract: A dual-chamber device for receiving and containing a liquid, particularly urine, employs a generally cylindrical body having a detachable top cover and an internal, transverse, funnel-shaped wall. The transverse wall has a central circular orifice and divides the body into lower and upper chambers for respectively receiving and retaining fore-stream and mid-stream urine liquid samples. A floatable orifice stopper in the lower chamber is responsive to fore-stream liquid filling the lower chamber to a predetermined level for closing the orifice, so that subsequent, mid-stream urine liquid is received into the upper chamber. An annular float beneath the orifice stopper assures proper stopper closing of the orifice. A bottom cover has an upstanding stopper pushing column and a flexible, spring-like, annular web adjacent the cover periphery.
