Specimen Type

Urine

Container

Random urine or cobas® PCR Media tube

Collection Instructions

Container/Tube: Random Urine or Urine stabilized in Cobas® PCR Media
Specimen : 10 mL of urine (6 mL min)
If using the Cobas® PCR Media Fill urine to fall within the 2 black lines on the cobas® PCR
Media tube.
Transport Temperature: Refrigerated
Stability: 2 days Refrigerated
