Urine Collection Guidelines
Step 1
 Have individual urinate in proper collection device.
Step 2
 Ensure the sample is sealed properly by tightening until you hear ‘click’ noise.

1. Leaks may result in contamination or inability to process specimens.
2. Recommended collection volume is 30mL.
Step 3
 Verify the temperature of the patient specimen is in range of 32.5-37.7°C (90.5-100°F). This should be read within 4 minutes of sample collection.

1. If temperature is out of range, please reject the specimen and recollect the sample from patient.
Step 4
 If manual requisition, place 2 identifiers on sample, OR for online order place the label on the sample and at least 1 other identifier.

1. The lack of 2 identifiers will result in the sample being discarded.
Step 5
 Place the sample in the proper biohazard bag, along with any necessary paperwork in the pocket and ensure the biohazard bag is properly sealed.
