The best time to collect a sputum specimen is typically in the morning, shortly after waking up. This is because mucus accumulates overnight, making it easier to obtain a more concentrated and representative sample. Additionally, collecting the specimen at this time can help ensure it contains cells and bacteria that may be present in the lower respiratory tract.

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™
