Collection Instructions

1. Patient must not have urinated for at least 1 hour prior to specimen collection.
2. Direct patient to provide a first-catch urine (approximately 20 to 30 mL of the initial urine stream) into a urine collection cup free of preservatives. Collection of larger volumes of urine may result in rrna target dilution that may reduce test sensitivity. Female patients should not cleanse the labial area prior to providing the specimen.
3. Remove the cap and transfer 2 mL of urine into the urine specimen transport tube (yellow aptima tube) using the disposable pipette provided within 24 hours of collection. The correct volume of urine has been added when the fluid level is between the black fill lines on the urine specimen transport tube label.
4. Re-cap the urine specimen transport tube tightly. Submit specimen to the laboratory at room temperature or refrigerated.
Note: male specimens will not be accepted.
