Use something similar to this. Stick into skin and put diaper over, with the bag hanging out.
At 11mo, you’ll probably need to distract her.
They can actually give you a little plastic thing that you put on the toilet in between the seat and the rim that’s like a bowl and they pee in it. I’m surprised they didn’t provide you one.
but just in case they don’t have it, here is an amazon link for it
My bad just saw the age. In that case they are able to collect it at the pediatrician. There is a tiny thing they attach to her that looks just like a catheter it’s a tube with a wide opening where they stick it around her vagina. That way when she pees it goes into the tube and directly into a sample cup.
I don’t know why left you to deal with this on your own.
here is a link to the pediatric urine collector
I think the fancy box you speak of is sold on Amazon. Not sure if I past the link it will work.

Urine sample container taken from the doctors office (unused) . It’s durable plastic, and as you can imagine, leaks absolutely no odor. Perfect size too. It is my top recommendation for this use.
EDIT: Pretty sure this is the exact same model

I use this strainer (from Amazon). I keep it on top of the toilet stored in a round food storage container, filled up to the level of the strainer mesh with a water/ bleach mixture (to kill any germs). Here's a picture of what it looks like. The mesh sits in the water/ bleach and the top of the strainer sits on top of the lip of the storage container.

family members worked at hospitals so i got them from my family, but if you search sterile urine container on amazon its good

These fit inside the toilet.
Can't you go into one container and split it out into the 12? I've never seen one need so many so I might be missing something but most samples I've done haven't required all that much.
I usually use something like this and then use the little spoon that's attached to each vials caps

The newegg/amazon price comparison plugin shows me what a hell of a deal I'm getting compared to buying this on Amazon.
Thanks for the sweet deal!

I've been capping for years, using "00" capsules. The little tips I've learned:

Usually I get the full 24 capsules when I cap. I hope this helps because capsule are far far far easier and you have more control over dosage than dealing with the taste. :-)
I think the trick would be not letting it get cold. There aren't normally proteins or anything easily damaged by heat in the urine though, so if you had to freeze it, I'd suggest warming and stirring it up as much as possible. Even better, pee into one of these:

They're the same kind used at clinics and hospitals, and they're sterile upon arrival. If you let rip into one of these each morning before work, you could take it with you and it would be perfectly fresh the whole day. That's how I would do it.
