Specimen collection device for collecting a fluid specimen in a specimen tube , which specimen collection device comprises three separate components: - a test stick for absorbing the fluid specimen which test stick comprises an elongated stick body which has a proximal stick end to be held by a user and a distal stick end with a stick tip, in which the stick body is provided with an absorbent pad at the distal stick end which absorbent pad contains a liquid absorbing material for absorbing the fluid specimen; - a stick receptacle for receiving the test stick , which stick receptacle has an interior squeeze chamber for squeezing the absorbent pad to extract fluid out of the absorbent pad which stick receptacle is open at a proximal end for inserting the stick tip into the squeeze chamber and which squeeze chamber has a chamber end face at a distal end of the stick receptacle for compressing the absorbent pad to release fluid from the absorbent pad when the absorbent pad is squeezed against the chamber end face which stick receptacle has a spout for connecting a specimen tube to the stick receptacle, wherein the spout has an outlet port at the distal end for discharging fluid away from the squeeze chamber to the specimen tube - a specimen tube which is connectable to the spout of the stick receptacle for receiving the fluid specimen; wherein the absorbent pad comprises a pad channel which extends from a first pad end face to or near a second pad end face , wherein the stick body extends inside the absorbent pad through the pad channel , such that when inserting the test stick into the stick receptacle , the stick tip is received in the outlet port for aligning the test stick during squeezing whilst the absorbent pad abuts the chamber end face , wherein the absorbent pad slides along the stick body during squeezing without the absorbent pad passing through the outlet port and characterised in that the stick tip is arranged to pass through the outlet port , such that the outlet port aligns and supports the stick body . - a test stick for absorbing the fluid specimen which test stick comprises an elongated stick body which has a proximal stick end to be held by a user and a distal stick end with a stick tip, in which the stick body is provided with an absorbent pad at the distal stick end which absorbent pad contains a liquid absorbing material for absorbing the fluid specimen; - a stick receptacle for receiving the test stick , which stick receptacle has an interior squeeze chamber for squeezing the absorbent pad to extract fluid out of the absorbent pad which stick receptacle is open at a proximal end for inserting the stick tip into the squeeze chamber and which squeeze chamber has a chamber end face at a distal end of the stick receptacle for compressing the absorbent pad to release fluid from the absorbent pad when the absorbent pad is squeezed against the chamber end face which stick receptacle has a spout for connecting a specimen tube to the stick receptacle, wherein the spout has an outlet port at the distal end for discharging fluid away from the squeeze chamber to the specimen tube which stick receptacle is open at a proximal end for inserting the stick tip into the squeeze chamber and which squeeze chamber has a chamber end face at a distal end of the stick receptacle for compressing the absorbent pad to release fluid from the absorbent pad when the absorbent pad is squeezed against the chamber end face which stick receptacle has a spout for connecting a specimen tube to the stick receptacle, wherein the spout has an outlet port at the distal end for discharging fluid away from the squeeze chamber to the specimen tube - a specimen tube which is connectable to the spout of the stick receptacle for receiving the fluid specimen; <EOS>
