Urinalysis by means of Test Strips

Urine sampling

A midstream urine specimen collected after thorough hygiene of external genitals is an optimal sample. Appropriate urine sampling and preparation are of utmost importance for the chemical and microscopic urine tests to produce reliable results. Therefore, the containers used for urine collection must be thoroughly clean and time of analysis strictly defined (within 1-2 hours from urine sampling).

Urine specimen can be obtained by:
1. spontaneous urination,
2. spontaneous urination - midstream urine specimen,
3. catheterization, and
4. percutaneous and suprapubic urinary bladder aspiration.
