A specimen collection container includes inner and outer tubes. The inner tube includes a bottom end, a top end, and a sidewall extending therebetween defining an interior. The sidewall includes an inner surface and an outer surface having at least one annular protrusion extending therefrom. The inner tube includes at least one funnel portion adjacent the top end for directing a specimen into the inner tube interior, and an annular ring disposed about a portion of the outer surface of the sidewall adjacent the top end. The outer tube includes a bottom end, a top end, and a sidewall extending therebetween, the sidewall having an outer surface and an inner surface defining an annular recess adapted to receive a portion of the annular protrusion therein. The inner tube is disposed within the outer tube and a portion of the top end of the outer tube abuts the annular ring.

1. A specimen collection container, comprising: an inner tube having a closed bottom end, a top end, and a sidewall extending therebetween defining an inner tube interior, the sidewall having an inner surface and an outer surface having at least one annular protrusion extending therefrom, the inner tube comprising at least one funnel portion adjacent the top end for directing a specimen into the inner tube interior, and an annular ring disposed about a portion of the outer surface of the sidewall adjacent the top end, the funnel portion being adjacent to and above the annular ring; andan outer tube comprising a bottom end, a top end including a upper end , and a sidewall extending therebetween, the sidewall having an outer surface and an inner surface defining an annular recess adapted to receive at least a portion of the annular protrusion therein, wherein the inner tube is disposed at least partially within the outer tube such that the funnel portion sits above the upper end and a portion of the upper end of the outer tube abuts the annular ring. 2. The specimen collection container of claim 1, wherein the inner tube and the outer tube are co-formed. 3. The specimen collection container of claim 1, wherein the open top end of the inner tube comprises a second funnel, such that the second funnel is substantially opposite the funnel. 4. The specimen collection container of claim 1, wherein at least one of the sidewall of the inner tube and the sidewall of the outer tube includes at least one fill-line. 5. The specimen collection container of claim 1, wherein the bottom end of the outer tube comprises at least one vent for venting air from the space defined between the inner surface of the outer tube and the outer surface of the inner tube. 6. The specimen collection container of claim 1, wherein the outer surface of the inner tube comprises at least one stabilizer extending therefrom for contacting a portion of the inner surface of the outer tube. 7. The specimen collection container of claim 1, wherein the inner tube completely seals the top end of the outer tube. 8. The specimen collection container of claim 1, further comprising a specimen collection cap sealing at least one of the top end of the inner tube and the top end of the outer tube. 9. The specimen collection container of claim 8, wherein the specimen collection cap includes a top surface, an annular shoulder depending therefrom, and an annular interior wall depending from the top surface with the annular shoulder circumferentially disposed about the annular interior wall. 10. The specimen collection container of claim 9, wherein a tube receiving portion is defined between the annular shoulder and the annular interior wall, and wherein at least a portion of the funnel is received within the tube receiving portion. 11. The specimen collection container of claim 10, wherein the annular shoulder comprises an inner surface having a first protrusion extending therefrom into the tube receiving portion, and a second protrusion extending therefrom into the tube receiving portion, the first protrusion laterally offset from the second protrusion. 12. The specimen collection container of claim 11, further comprising a protrusion disposed on the outer surface of at least one of the inner tube and the outer tube, the protrusion positioned between the first protrusion and the second protrusion of the annular shoulder when the specimen collection cap seals at least one of the top end of the inner tube and the top end of the outer tube. 13. The specimen collection container of claim 10, wherein the inner surface of the annular shoulder further comprises a third protrusion disposed about a bottom end of the specimen collection cap extending into the tube receiving portion for contacting a portion of the sidewall of at least one of the inner tube and the outer tube. 14. The specimen collection container of claim 9, further comprising an elastomeric stopper at least partially surrounded by the interior annular wall. 15. The specimen collection container of claim 14, wherein the elastomeric stopper is self-sealing. 16. The specimen collection container of claim 14, wherein the elastomeric stopper comprises a concave receiving surface adjacent the top surface of the specimen collection cap for directing an instrument to an apex of the concave receiving surface. 17. The specimen collection container of claim 14, wherein the elastomeric stopper comprises an inverted receiving surface adjacent a bottom end of the specimen collection cap. 18. The specimen collection container of claim 9, further comprising a plurality of ribs extending along a portion of an exterior surface of the annular shoulder. 19. The specimen collection container of claim 8, wherein the specimen collection cap includes a top surface and an annular shoulder depending therefrom having an inner surface, wherein at least a portion of the inner surface of the annular shoulder and the outer surface of the inner tube interact to form a seal. 20. The specimen collection container of claim 19, wherein the seal comprises a tortuous fluid path. 21. The specimen collection container of claim 8, wherein the specimen collection cap includes a top surface and an annular shoulder depending therefrom having an inner surface, wherein at least a portion of the inner surface of the annular shoulder and the outer surface of the outer tube interact to form a seal. 22. The specimen collection container of claim 21, wherein the seal comprises a tortuous fluid path.
