Abstract:
1. A method of testing a bodily fluid for drugs, comprising: collecting a sample of fluid with a container comprising a vertical indentation along an outer sidewall of the container, from the bottom of the container leading up to a top horizontal wall that forms a stop; placing a cap including a solid clear cover onto the container, wherein the cap has an opening formed in a chamber of the cap, and the chamber is further configured to receive an absorbent pad to enable fluid communication between the cap and the container, wherein the opening is offset from the center axis of the cap; tilting the container such that the vertical indentation rests on a surface in order to prevent rotation of the container along the surface; moving a first portion of the sample into the cap having at least one test strip; testing the first portion for a presence of a drug; viewing a test result through the clear cover; and sealing the first portion from a second portion of the sample remaining in the container by rotating the cap with respect to the container to align the opening with the stop.
