Single specimen collection kits consist of an 8oz collection cup, temperature indicator strip, specimen bag with absorbent pad and a 45ml transport vial. Items are sealed inside the collection cup with a foil top lid. To use, simply peel away the foil top lid and remove the components inside the cup. Provide the donor with the collection cup. Once the collection is complete, pour off 30ml of urine into the transport vial. Now seal the vial by closing the hinged lid on top until it snaps closed (note: evidence tape may be administered over the top of the vial to protect the integrity of the specimen—supplied separately as requested).
The vial should be placed in the front pocket of the specimen bag while the completed requisition is placed in the rear pocket. Seal the specimen bag by removing the blue release liner on the bag and folding the flap over the pockets. Unless a box is required to transport the specimen to a test laboratory, arrange for courier transport to the laboratory of choice using the couriers recommended guidelines and transport packaging. Temperature reading of the initial specimen should be administered as laboratory test guidelines indicate.
