Each 3L container is pre-filled with 30mL of the preservative which will be refrigerated and mixed throughout the duration of patient collection
Upon completion of the collection cycle, laboratory procedures will specify what the patient will use as a pour-off container in order to retrieve a representative sample of the 24-hour collection at the laboratory for testing. As indicated on the provided container instructions, the patient or acting physician will not send the entire container to the laboratory. Typically, a 90mL specimen container will be provided by the laboratory in addition to these pre-filled 24-hour containers to insure the pour-off process is acknowledged by the patient or acting physician.
