  Collection

  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Note: Both serum and urine, with the same collection date, are required for each patient. Collect blood in a serum separator tube or a standard red-top, allow blood to clot at room temperature. The specimen should be centrifuged as soon as possible, and serum transferred to 2 aliquot tubes (each containing 1.5 mL minimum) to prevent hemolysis. Urine should always be collected with a patient-matched serum specimen. Urine: Direct patient to provide urine into a urine collection cup free of any preservatives. 2 mL of urine must be transferred into the Aptima specimen transport tube within 72 hours of collection and before being assayed. Use the tube provided in the urine specimen collection kit. The fluid (urine plus transport media) level in the urine transport tube must fall within the clear pane of the tube label. Transport refrigerated (cold packs) to local Quest accessioning laboratory. Transport frozen (dry ice): If shipping directly to the performing laboratory by an overnight air courier. Specimens must not be left in lock bins.
