A liquid transfer device for use in the safe transfer of fluids from a needle tipped syringe to at least one test tube. The device is equipped with a slidable top able to be removed from the device for placement of the test tubes intoa carrier on the device. The top is provided with at least one guide hole aligned above the test tubes for directing the needle of the syringe into the test tube supported by the carrier. The top of the device is positioned below the top of the sides of the device thereby creating a protective lip for preventing errant needles from straying during use by a health care professional.

[ What is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is as follows:] [16.]16. A method for safely transferring fluids from a needle-tipped syringe to at least one test tube, comprising the steps of:providing a liquid transfer device comprising:a carrier with at least one hole for supporting at least one test tube at an elevation in said device;at least three sides for elevating said carrier thereby allowing said test tube to be positioned upright for receipt of fluids; anda guide with at least one guide hole for directing the needle of a needle-tipped syringe into a test tube supported by said carrier and positioned beneath said guide hole of said guide;wherein said guide is positioned beneath the top edge of said sides thereby creating a protective lip for preventing straying of errant needles and wherein said sides are situated about said carrier and said guide;slidably removing the guide from the carrier:placing at least one test tube into a carrier hole;slidably positioning said guide over the carrier;guiding a needle of a syringe through a guide hole of said guide;transferring the fluid in said syringe through said needle into said test tube; andremoving said needle and syringe.
