To ensure the most accurate results for your patients, please remember to follow these steps when collecting samples for Urine Culture and Urinalysis:
- Collect the Urine Culture First
- Use the straw collection device with the Gray Urine Culture Tube.
- Fill to the line on the tube label (required).
- Collect the Urinalysis Sample
- Use the same straw to fill the Yellow or Red/Yellow Uri-Tube to its fill line.
- Important Notes
- Both tubes must be sent for Urine Culture + Urinalysis or Reflex Testing.
- Underfilled tubes cannot be tested, and cup samples are a last resort.
Following these steps will help maintain sample integrity and ensure accurate testing. Thank you for your attention to this important process.
