Urine Collection
Easy Sample Collection for All
Urine contains an extensive range of indicators used for diagnostic analysis - pH, proteins, sugars, nitrite, ketone, bilirubin, blood cells, hormones and metabolites.
Most urine specimens are collected by asking the patient to urinate into a container or receptacle. To keep the sample from becoming contaminated by materials outside the urinary tract, patients are given instructions on how to clean the area and void some urine before collecting the specimen in the container.
For certain tests, 24-hour urine samples are collected at home and may need to be refrigerated.

The BD Vacutainer® Z (No Additive) Plus Urine Tube collection tubes are single use, evacuated, sterile urine collection tubes, intended for the collection and primary containment of urine specimens derived from the human body for the purpose of in-vitro diagnostic examination.
The PET tubes are available in a range of size and can be identified by a beige cap.
This PET tube has a 9.5ml draw volume and measures 16mm diameter and 75mm height with a spray dried K2EDTA 1.8mg/mL additive within the tube as recommended by the ICSH (International Council Society of Haematology). The beige cap has the BD Hemogard™ tube closure, designed to protect from urine which may splatter when the tube is opened. The rubber stopper is recessed inside the plastic shield, preventing exposure to urine present on the stopper.
