Embodiments of the present invention include a specimen collection assembly that limits or eliminates the need for transferring a specimen sample and/or solution mixed with the specimen sample from one container to another. The specimen collection assembly includes a specimen collection member, a filter and a lid each to be employed with a vile. The filter is attachable to a distal portion of the specimen collection member. The lid is configured to be positioned over the open end of the vile with both the specimen collection member and filter positioned in the vile. With this arrangement, a liquid solution can be introduced into the vile and then agitated to mix with a specimen sample. The fecal loop with the attached filter can then be withdrawn from the vile to leave the remaining filtered and mixed liquid solution in the vile.

A method for collecting and processing biological samples (e. g. , fecal samples) is disclosed. The method may include obtaining a system comprising a container, a collector, and a lid. Using the collector, a user may collect a sample. The sample may be inserted within the container. The lid may be secured and the container and sample contained therewithin may be transported to a testing facility. At the testing facility, the container may be used throughout the processing of the sample. Accordingly, the risk of cross-contamination may be reduced.
