Collection Container STERILE CONTAINER
Units -
Collection Requirements Preferred: 10 mL (10 mL minimum) urine collected in a Quest Diagnostics Beta-2 Microglobulin Transport tube (available through Client Supply) and 10mL (0.5 mL minimum urine collected in a plastic urine container for creatinine. Acceptable: See Instructions 1. Patient should void bladder then drink at least 500 mL (approximately 17 oz) of water. 2. A urine sample should be collected within 1 hour. 3. Pour exactly 10 mL of random urine into a Quest Diagnostics Beta-2 Microglobulin Transport Tube (available through Client Supply). 4. Ship Room temperature. 5. Alternatively if the collection tubes are not available pH of the specimen must be adjusted to between 6 and 8 using 1N NaOH prior to shipping. Beta-2 Microglobulin in urine is unstable in acidic urine (less than pH 6). Exactly 10 mL of urine in the Quest Diagnostics Beta-2 Microglobulin Transport Tube is required to achieve the required pH of between 6 and 8. Any volume of urine above or below 10 mL will result in a pH that is outside the acceptable range. Creatinine - pour 10 mL of random unpreserved urine collected in a palstic urine container into a plastic transport tube.
