Specimens Begin With the Order and the Lab

The idea
Every specimen begins with an order and follows the testing laboratory's specific collection instructions.
In practice
The lab's instructions say which container to use, how much to collect, and how to store and transport the sample.
Where people slip
When you are unsure how to collect a specimen, ask the lab; laboratory staff are a resource.
