A universal fitting is provided for inoculating sequentially a plurality of examination tubes and/or bottles of a variety of diameters with a single body fluid specimen taken from a patient by a syringe. After taking the sample, the needle on the syringe is discarded and the male luer adapter of the syringe is connected to the female luer on the universal fitting of the invention. The fitting may include a holder arrangement with a skirt for conforming to and frictionally gripping the container receiving the sample. The female luer, in turn, is connected to a needle suspended in the universal fitting of the invention for penetrating the stopper of the container receiving a portion of the sample in the syringe. The arrangement herein may include a rubber sheath valve for covering the needle between successive inoculations. Alternatively, the universal fitting may be connected to a conventional tube holder for introducing the specimen into an evacuated tube, for example. |
