This invention is comprised of: (i) a clear, measured, tubular specimen collection container and (ii) a thin retractable/adjustable handle that consists of a telescopic middle stem with attached twist-on cap at one end and an absorbent, sterile sponge at the other end. For specimen collection, the handle is fully extended to its maximum length and the sponge placed in the urine stream of a test subject for several seconds. The sponge is then inserted into the specimen collection container, which has a fixed, built-in sieve located in its lower half, with a center slit for urine dipstick testing. The saturated sponge is gently pressed against the sieve to collapse the retractable handle to its shortest length, while the cap is twisted close, sealing the specimen container. The action of twisting the cap to seal the container compresses the sponge against the sieve, causing urine to be expressed into the lower part of the specimen collection container.
