Abstract:
An assaying device for in field urine analysis comprising:a container having an opening for collecting a urine sample, a base for the container, and a wall for the container, a cover for sealing the opening of the container; an assay assembly with the container for chemically analyzing the urine sample, the assay assembly having at least one assay strip provided for the assembly and being in liquid transmittable contact with wicking, the wicking having a lower portion proximal to the base of the container and being for communication with urine in the container such that, in use, when there is urine in the container and the container is in an upright position with the opening above the base, the urine wicks up the wicking to the assay strip thereby to permit a flow of urine in the container to the assay strip; and the assay strip being directed adjacent to the wall of the container thereby to be readable through the container wall.
