Step 3: Handling the Sample

• Seal the Container: After collection, securely seal the container to avoid any spillage.
• Label the Sample: Clearly label the container with your name, date, and any other required information.
• Keep Warm: Maintain the sample at body temperature; hold it close to your body during transport.

Step 4: Transporting the Sample

• Timeliness is Important: Aim to deliver the sample to the laboratory within 30-60 minutes of collection for the best results.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the sample to extreme heat or cold during transport.
• Follow Lab Instructions: If the lab has specific delivery instructions, adhere to them closely.
