A specimen collection or a specimen collection and testing device having an embossed or raised section. In one embodiment the device includes a first panel with one or more apertures for receiving specimen and a second panel having a removable tab, the removable tab aligned with the one or more apertures when the device is assembled such that depositing specimen through the one or more apertures deposits the specimen on the removable tab. A cover has one or more embossed (or raised) sections that align with the one or more apertures when the cover overlays the first panel, thus helping to prevent adherence of the specimen to the inner surface of the cover.
