For increased productivity in preparing aliquots of urine for processing on Hitachi and Olympus chemistry analyzers,there are two different strip cups that fit into the equipment racks. Normally, lab personnel would be required to place individual cups in each rack bay. With the 5-Up (Hitachi analyzer) and 10-Up (Olympus analyzer) strip cups, lab personnel simply places the strip cups into the racks to save valuable time in the testing process.
Testing Supplies for Drug Abuse Off-Site
Capital Vial Canada offers single and split specimen collection and transport kits utilizing custom, high-speed automated assembly equipment. To insure the quality of the specimen collection kits, manual labor is minimized in the assembly process. The automated equipment places temperature strips on the collection cups, inserts absorbent pads into dual pouch specimen bags, and loads these components along with the transport vial(s) into the collection cup. A foil top seal is heat transferred to the rim of the collection cup resulting in a Class 10,000 sterile product.
The automated assembly process provides laboratories with a collection kit that features unparalleled consistency in terms of reproducible quality and insures the collection site that the product has never been opened or tampered with prior to collection.

Single specimen collection kits consist of an 8oz collection cup, temperature indicator strip, specimen bag with absorbent pad and a 45ml transport vial. Items are sealed inside the collection cup with a foil top lid. To use, simply peel away the foil top lid and remove the components inside the cup. Provide the donor with the collection cup. Once the collection is complete, pour off 30ml of urine into the transport vial. Now seal the vial by closing the hinged lid on top until it snaps closed (note: evidence tape may be administered over the top of the vial to protect the integrity of the specimen—supplied separately as requested).
The vial should be placed in the front pocket of the specimen bag while the completed requisition is placed in the rear pocket. Seal the specimen bag by removing the blue release liner on the bag and folding the flap over the pockets. Unless a box is required to transport the specimen to a test laboratory, arrange for courier transport to the laboratory of choice using the couriers recommended guidelines and transport packaging. Temperature reading of the initial specimen should be administered as laboratory test guidelines indicate.
(SAMHSA) for Workplace Testing
The split specimen collection and transport kit offers the same kit components as the single specimen kit (#90111) with one additional 45ml transport vial. The kit will be administered during collection similar to the single kit (#90111) except that after pouring off 30ml of urine into the first transport vial, the test administrator will pour an additional 15ml of urine into the second vial. If you are testing according to SAMHSA guidelines, please refer to those mandated instructions for collection and transport requirements.
Industry standard for urine collection & transport
The 90ml flip-top vial is constructed of 100% polypropylene resin. The vials are leakproof containers that have been tested for binding properties against major drugs of abuse testing targets such as marijuana and cocaine. During transport and storage, the polypropylene material prohibits drugs from binding to the walls of the container to insure optimum test results. The lid of the vial is attached to the container via a permanent hinge. Available in a variety of configurations as highlighted in the chart.
Kit includes a 90ml flip-top vial with band seal, temperature strip and specimen bag with absorbent, all of which are sealed in a bag. The 90ml flip-top vial features a wide-mouth opening which enables clients to avoid using a separate collection cup for voiding.
Absorbent pads sold preassembled in bag or separate
The dual pocket specimen bag features a removable liner that exposes a robust adhesive for sealing both compartments of the bag. Specimens are inserted into the front pocket.

Temperature indicator strips are available separately for self application. To use, simply peel the strip off of the wax paper backing and apply to your container or vial. The temperature measurement range is 89°F to 100°F. A bright green or tan dot will appear under a temperature marking so that you can accurately record the specimen temperature reading. Available in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
