Midstream or Catheterized Urine 1. Patient should not have urinated for at least 1 hour prior to specimen collection. 2. Collect 20 mL of midstream or catheterized urine into a screw-capped, sterile urine container. 3. Transfer a minimum of 4 mL into BD vacutainer Urine Transport Tube with boric acid. (If <4 mL is collected send original urine container refrigerated.) 4. Label container with patient’s name (first and last), date and actual time of collection, and type of specimen. 5. Maintain sterility and forward promptly at ambient temperature (Urine Transport Tube) or refrigerated (2-8 C) if not in Urine Transport Tube (no boric acid). Note: Specimen source is required on request form for processing. |
| Transport Instructions |
For Urine Transport Tubes with boric acid (optimal specimens) or Refrigerated (2-8 C) in Sterile Container if not in Urine Transport Tubes (without boric acid or equivalent). Note: sterile containers will only be accepted if specimen is of insufficient quantity to transfer to urine preservative tube. |
| Specimen Stability |
For Urine Transport Tubes - submitting within 24 hours is optimal (though up to 72 hours is acceptable). Other urines not in Urine Transport Tube, boric acid, or equivalent, please submit refrigerated (2-8 C) within 48 hours. |
