Yes, there are three tubes. There are many types of transfer tubes, even systems that make the process super sterile or easy to use.

The transfer tube will be the tube that the urine specimin is collected in. Then, 10ml of urine will be filled into each of the two different tubes for testing.

One example of a system to accomplish this is: https://www.vwrsp.com/catalog/product/index.cgi?product_id=4...

Fill either transfer tube with exactly 10 ml

Explanation:
... of urine, I would think (since both tests are for urine), differentiating by cap colors:

- tube with yellow cap for urinalysis
- tube with red cap for urine culture

That's how I would understand it
