Collection Details:

Patient Preparation:

The patient should not have urinated for at least one hour prior to specimen collection.

Collection Instructions:

Aptima® urine transport.

Urine specimen: The patient should not have urinated for at least one hour prior to specimen collection. Direct patient to provide a first-catch urine (approximately 20-30 mL of the initial urine stream) into a urine collection cup free of any preservatives. Collection of larger volumes of urine may result in specimen dilution that may reduce test sensitivity; lesser volumes may not adequately rinse organisms into the specimen. Female patients should not cleanse the labial area prior to providing the specimen. Add urine to the Aptima® Combo 2 urine collection device. The final volume must be between the two black lines on the device (about 2 mL).

Maintain specimen at room temperature or refrigerate (2°C to 30°C).
