Abstract: A sample collection container configured to be removably mounted to a blood collection device includes: a housing having a flow channel extending through the housing having an inlet and an outlet and a container body removably connected to the housing. The container body includes an open top, a closed bottom, and an interior wall extending between the top and the bottom defining a collection cavity. When the housing is connected to the container body, the outlet of the flow channel is in fluid communication with the collection cavity. The sample collection container also includes at least one additive dispersing object positioned to be contacted by blood flowing from the blood collection device through the flow channel and/or into the collection cavity. The at least one additive dispersing object includes an additive composition to be mixed with the blood passing along the flow channel and into the collection cavity.
