Abstract

One or more of the present embodiments relate to sample receiving devices and methods of use thereof for the collection and testing of test samples, where the collection of the test sample(s) and the testing of the test sample(s) are separate activities and utilize separate parts of the receiving test device. One or more of the present embodiments are particularly adaptable as a test receiving member, which can be taken home by a patient for collection of a desired sample and later sent or taken to a testing facility where the sample receiving member can be connected to a testing member by way of a releasable hinge whereby the test sample can be tested to yield the test result. One or more of the present embodiments can be combined with any test methodology where a test sample is required to be provided and then separately tested to yield the test result.
