Complete urinalysis performed including dipstick and microscopic results. Urine culture without gram stain will be added if indicated by urinalysis results.
NOTE: For optimum urine biochemical measurements, urine specimens should be received within 2 hours of collection, with refrigeration if delayed beyond 2 hours. For optimum detection of cellular casts, the specimen should be examined as soon as possible. Specimens over 24 hours old will be rejected unless provider indicates the specimen is an irreproducible specimen because of timing.

Ordering & Collection
- Specimen Type
- Urine
- Collection
-
Fresh RANDOM URINE – Prefer “clean-catch” mid-stream collection in yellow top urine collection tube (UA no additive) AND a gray top urine preservative tube completely filled (boric acid). Urine received in a sterile collection cup will also be acceptable for Urinalysis. Reflexive urine culture will NOT be performed if a gray top tube is not received.
UW-MT only: Urine in BD Vacutainer Urinalysis Preservative tube to maximum fill line preferred. Minimum fill line acceptable.
- Handling Instructions
Transport within 2 hours of collection at room temperature or within 24 hours at refrigerator temperature. BD Vacutainer Urinalysis Preservative Tube specimens are stable for up to 24 hours at room temperature.
UW-MT only: send urine samples to NW220 SPS.
Note: Urinalysis cannot be added on to a specimen after it has been processed on the automation line.
- Quantity
-
requested: 15 mL urine
minimum: 6 mL in yellow top urine tube AND 3 mL in grey top urine preservative tube
Processing
- Processing
Refrigerate urine. Both a yellow top urine (with or without UA preservative) and grey top urine must arrive together for test to be performed.
Once urine sample has been processed by Urinalysis analyzers, no additional tests may be performed. Check with the laboratory to see if extra sample is available. Recollection is advised for optimal results.Address stability questions to UA scientist prior to calling clinic.
