ABSTRACT:
A device for collecting biological specimens having a container and a detachable handle. The handle allows a person to position the container so that contact between the person and sample is minimized or avoided. The handle includes a hoop into which the container slides from the container's lower end. The container is configured with projections on its outer surface that frictionally engage the hoop. Alternatively, the container can be configured with projections, a ring, or a lip over which the hoop is obliquely traversed to prevent the hoop from sliding downward on the outer surface of the container. The handle is constructed of a flexible material so that it may deform as needed when engaging the outer surface of the container.
