Abstract
The assaying apparatus provides a kit in a collection cup for collecting and analyzing a urine sample for drugs or drug metabolites. In one embodiment, a separator member is disposed in the interior of the cup, separating an isolated liquid sample space from the assay regions of the assay strips. Wicking of the urine sample provides a controlled flow to the assay regions of the assay strips. The cup includes a pair of ribs on the interior surface of the cup forming a slot for receiving and retaining the assay strips and the wick assembly. In a second embodiment, collection cup has a cap with assay strips, and a wick mounted to the cap and extending into the liquid sample space of the collection cup when the cap is placed on the cup, for wicking the liquid sample from the interior of the cup to the assay strips. A transparent cover is provided over the assay strips permitting observation of the results of the assays.
