Specimen Required
Preferred Container/Tube: Urine Container
Acceptable Container/Tube: Urine Container
Specimen Volume: 5 mL
Specimen Stability Information
Ambient:
Non-preservative tubes: 2 hours
Preservative tubes: 72 hours
NOTE: Preservative specimens are accepted but are not recommended.
Refrigerated: 8 hours
Rejected Due To
- Unlabeled specimens
- Ambient specimens >2 hours old
- Specimens with fecal or vaginal contamination
- Use of boric acid urine preservative
- Specimens in collection cups
Testing Algorithm
If WBC is >10/HPF then the Urine Culture (LAB239) will be performed at an additional charge.

Cautions
Substances/conditions that cause abnormal urine color may affect the readability of reagent areas on urinalysis dipstick reagent strips and may cause false positive or false negative results.
Insufficient urine volume can produce erroneous results, including falsely decreased urine microscopic semiquantitative results for WBC, RBC, epithelial cells, casts, and bacteria.
Method Description
DIPSTICK
Dry pad urine chemistry
