The Lab Specimen Collection Guidelines

By Amanda Baird


In every kind of laboratory tests, every people are trained in the best way that they can be. This is because they play an integral part in the testing the urine sample of different patients. It will determine if a person is currently sick or not. It will also determine if the condition is worse or not. Here are some of the guidelines that are followed in lab specimen collection.

All of the collection or the transport containers are should be free from dust or particles. Otherwise, the whole analysis will determine that a person is likely to be invaded with a myriad of bacteria in the entire system. That will lead to the speculation that a person has to go through treatments so that he will get better.

Also it should not be reused too. Chances are, the microorganisms are likely to adhere to the container that will be causing another analysis of bacteria that are present in a urine of another person. It is always a big no no so to avoid any false analysis.

The lid is needed to be secured. It should also be leak resistant to avoid the possibilities of leakage. Which is not appropriate especially when a person had a hard time to pee and he had to do it all again because the contents got spilled due to a leak.

Plastics are the most suitable for use. This is because they can not break compare to the glasses that could easily shatter as soon as they touch the ground. They could also cause the draining of the cash because they are quite costly. To avoid that from happening, then the plastics, again are the ones that have to be used.

There is a need that every vial has to be free from any kinds of substances. May it be hazardous or harmless. Or they are going to be the factor that might affect the whole process of examination. They had to be free even from the tiny residue of different substances.

The containers that are used always vary on the type of the automated system that is suitable for them. To avoid any kind of delays, or worse, the false analysis, the right transport tube shall be used in the right automated system. This is because they are designed to work with each other to make the most efficient result possible.

There comes the time in which confusion and replacement takes place in a certain occurrences They could affect the analysis in the grave way that will lead to this so called false analysis or wrong analysis. To avoid it to happen, then the labeling is very much necessary.

The things that are mentioned above are strictly followed by these people who are practicing in this field of expertise. They are very attentive to the details to avoid any kinds of mistakes. By that, the lab specimen collection will be done without flaw. This is due to the guidelines they strictly follow that prevents them from committing mistakes that will damage their credible image and stable career.
