SAMPLE COLLECTION
Wait at least one hour after your last urination before starting the collection.
- Thoroughly wash your hands before starting.
- Take the paper collection box out of your Abelcare box. Apply some pressure to unfold it.
- Urinate into the cup until it is 2/3 full. Pass the first part of the urine in the cup, then finish in the toilet.
- Take the tube and the pipete out of your Abelcare box.
- Open the tube. Do not spill the content of the tube. Using the pipete, transfer urine from the cup into the tube of liquid. You will need to pipete 2 or 3 times.
- Fill the tube until the liquid is between the marked lines on the side of the tube as shown in the figure. Do not fill above or below the marked lines or your sample will be rejected by the laboratory.
- Close the tube. Make sure you screw the cap tightly.
- Discard any remaining urine and dispose the collection cup.
PACKING AND SHIPPING YOUR SAMPLE
- Stick the barcode that you can find in your Abelcare box onto the tube, as shown in the figure.
- Place the tube in the biohazard bag that you can find in your Abelcare box. Note that the bag has two pouches. Use the one with the silver self-adhesive strip at the end. Tape the bag firmly shut.
- Take everything out of your Abelcare box and place the biohazard bag with the sample inside the empty box. Close it thoroughly.
