Direct patient to provide a first-catch urine (approximately 20 to 30 mL of the initial urine stream) into a urine collection cup free of any preservatives.

The final volume must be between the two black lines on the device (about 2 mL). Storage Instructions: Maintain specimen at room temperature or refrigerate (2°C to 30°C).
