The most common urine collection method is a random specimen. Random specimens are often used as a quick determination of:
- the presence of glucose, proteins, or blood
- the appearance, as well as proteins and blood that can point to a urinary tract infection - followed with a clean catch urinalysis
- random drug testing
- quick pregnancy test, especially when past the first month
The next most common is midstream clean catch urine to check for bacterial growth in a lab.
First morning urine is most often used for:
- pregnancy testing, especially at home EPT
- specific conditions
Timed collections are most often used in hospitals, but a 24 hour collection can be done outpatient.

Basic Concepts for Micro Specimen Collection1. Universal precaution guidelines must be followed for collection and transport of all specimens. Specimens should be placed in tightly sealed containers; the containers should be free of any external spillage, and the specimens should be transported in bags.2. Collect the specimen from the actual site of infection, avoiding contamination from adjacent tissues or secretions.3. Collect the specimen at optimal times (i.e. early morning sputum for AFB culture).4. Collect a sufficient quantity of material.5. Use appropriate collection devices: sterile, leak proof specimen containers. Use appropriate transport media. (Anaerobe transport system Amies or Stuart's for bacterial cultures, Cary-Blair for stool culture, M4 for viral and chlamydia cultures.)6. Whenever possible, collect specimens prior to administration of antibiotics or antivirals.7. Properly label the specimen including the date, time, and initials of collector. The source of specimen is required.8. Minimize transport time. Maintain an appropriate environment between collection of specimens and delivery to the Laboratory.9. If appropriate, decontaminate the skin surface. Use 70-95% alcohol (ALC) and 1-2% tincture of iodine (TIO) or chloroprep containing chlorhexidine gluconate 2% and isopropyl alcohol 70% to prepare the site. Allow a contact time of two minutes to maximize the antiseptic effect.♥dulnuanregina™
