Steps for Typical Urine Collection
Collector disperses specimen to bottle(s)
After the donor has handed his or her specimen to the collector, the collector now opens the specimen bottle(s). Make sure that the security seals for the specimen bottle(s) are only opened in the presence of the donor.
The collector, not the donor, disperses the urine specimen as follows:
Federally Regulated (DOT):
A minimum of 15 mL into one specimen container, a minimum of 30 mL into the second specimen container.
Non-Regulated:
A minimum of 30 mL into just one of specimen containers.
