    摘要: There is disclosed an improved heat sink composition and a method for preparing said composition to protect thermolabile goods from degradation or destruction from high temperatures. A representative composition includes sodium sulfate, sodium sulfate decahydrate (also known as Glauber's salt) and fumed silcon dioxide, a hydrophilic suspension agent which maintains the excess anhydrous sodium sulfate in uniform suspension when the composition is in a liquid state. In a preferred embodiment, the salt prior to use is dissolved in water, and driven to saturation, the hydrophilic agent is added, and the suspension driven to an over saturated state by the additional of from 1 to 30% anhydrous salt. The composition is then sealed in a plastic container of the desired shape to form an improved heat sink. The goods to be protected are packaged with the heat sink, whose salt hydrate has a melting point about 3.degree. C. to about 5.degree. C. lower than the thermosensitive temperature of the goods to protect them when the temperature of the environment exceeds the temperature of the goods. In the preferred embodiment, the goods and heat sink are surrounded with a layer of insulation which is adjacent to the outside container, which may be made of cardboard, paper, plastic and/or wood.

    摘要: The urine collection device of the present invention is an open collection system designed to collect and transfer a liquid urine specimen into a non-evacuated tube through a valve. The device is designed to be user friendly and has a finger placement platform so that one can hold the container without risk of contaminating the inside of the container or becoming exposed to the specimen. The specimen is transferred into the non-evacuated tube when the tube is connected to the valve port. A blunt cannula is used on the collection tube to transfer the specimen thereby avoiding exposure to sharps. The collection tube is attached to the urine collection device at an oblique angle. Gravity allows the specimen to be transferred into the tube and automatically stop at a pre-determined volume based on the oblique angle. The urine collection device with the tube attached may be placed on a flat surface without tipping over. When the filled collection tube is removed from the urine collection device, another tube may be attached for further filling. The self-sealing feature of the valve prevents the remaining liquid from leaking out. The filled collection tube may then be shipped to a laboratory for further analysis.

    摘要: This invention relates to a closed system specimen collection container. The collection container is designed to collect, transport and transfer the liquid specimen into a non-evacuated tube through an integrated valve component. This device has no sharp needles and utilizes a blunt cannula component on a test tube. The operation of the device consists of the steps of collecting a specimen into the container and attaching a cap in permanent locking and leak resistant attachment. The cap may be a snap-on or threaded lock. The specimen may then be immediately transported to a laboratory in the container where the specimen can be transferred into a tube for analysis. Alternatively, the specimen may then be immediately transferred into a non-evacuated tube through the integrated valve by a passive means. This technique is accomplished by inserting the blunt cannula attached to the tube into the bottom of the container and interfacing with the integrated valve component. The valve is pierced by the blunt cannula on the tube allowing passive transfer of the specimen without the user coming in contact with the liquid. Gravity allows liquid to transfer automatically. The filled test tube is then pulled off of the container and a second tube may be filled at that time if desired. The container may then be discarded for proper disposal. The integrated valve is a self-sealing valve which allows the user to obtain multiple tube samples without the risk of leaks or spills from the container.
