I suggest the instant tests in which the screen is built into the collection container. There are many variations of this product available on the marketplace. The most widely known is probably the TesTCup. Use of a device like this reduces the number of specimen transfers required at the collection site. Simpler collection procedures make for more reliable and defensible chain of custody. These integrated collection/point of collection test kits cost perhaps a few dollars more per test than the type where you dip the screen into the urine or pour off some urine into or onto the device.
