Specimen Collection

Essential products used to support the collection, containment, identification, handling, and preparation of laboratory specimens for testing and analysis. Depending on the type of specimen and testing requirements, supplies may include specimen containers, collection cups, tubes, transport materials, labels, and other related products. Proper specimen collection supplies can help laboratories and healthcare facilities maintain organized workflows and support appropriate handling from the point of collection through laboratory processing. These products may be used in hospitals, clinics, physician offices, diagnostic facilities, research environments, and other healthcare settings. Selecting supplies that are appropriate for the specific specimen and testing procedure is an important part of maintaining proper collection and handling practices.
