A specimen cup ( 100 ) has slide-in cassette ( 102 ) hermetically sealed in a chamber ( 104 ), with a outer partition being transparent. The cassette comprised chemical test strips ( 106 ) used to provide testing of drugs of abuse or other chemical or biological substances. The cassette is designed to draw urine up from the front bottom of the cup, thereby reduces the amount of urine required to perform the test. Further the cassette is designed to form isolated test channels through the use of strategically placed vertical and horizontal bars which are hermetically sealed. The cup further comprises a spill prevention flap or float ( 108 ) and an optionally enlarged sample collection portion ( 110 ) for its operation. The windows of the test cassette are covered with transparent fluid-resistant plate to prevent urine from accidentally spill onto the strips. |
