(midstream), sterile and timed specimens when a sample is needed. The method of collection
varies based on the patient and the type of specimen ordered.
urine specimen preservation most common is refrigeration 2-8 C which decreases
bacterial growth/metabolism
processing random urine collection 1. collected in small urine bowl
2. transferred from bowl to sterile cup (half full)
3. Use immediately or store cup in refrigerator until test.
Midstream urine collection/ handling urine is collected after initial voiding and before
