URINE CONTAINER

Urine Container Sterile or Urine Container is used to check kidney function. A 24-hour urine collection is done by collecting your urine in a special container over a full 24-hour period

clear, dry, chemically-clean containers with tight-fitting lids

A 24-hour urine specimen is an extremely important diagnostic test because it reveals how the kidney adjusts to changing physiologic needs over a long period

Once about 30 mL to 60 mL (roughly 3 to 5 tablespoons) are collected in the container for testing, the remainder of the urine may be voided in the toilet again.

Comprehensive Product Description: Urine Container

Urine containers, essential tools in medical diagnostics, offer high reliability and ease of use. Constructed from top-quality plastic (polypropylene), these containers are designed to meet the rigorous demands of both medical professionals and consumers. With an air-tight seal to prevent any leakage during transportation, our urine containers stand out due to their unrivalled quality, durability, and user-friendly features. The container's 30 ml capacity adequately supports various specimen collection needs, ensuring consistency and accuracy in test results.

Materials and Construction

High-Quality Polypropylene

The urine container is made of polypropylene, a high-grade plastic known for its strength, durability, and resistance to chemical reactions. This makes it ideal for containing biological specimens. Polypropylene's inert nature prevents any interactions with the contents, ensuring the integrity of the sample for accurate analysis.

Air-Tight Seal

Each container features an air-tight seal, meticulously designed to prevent any leakage. This ensures that samples remain uncontaminated and secure during transportation, providing peace of mind when shipping specimens to laboratories for testing.

Dimensions and Capacity

With a 30 ml capacity, these containers are sufficient for various types of specimen collections, including urine, stool, sputum, peritoneal exudate, joint fluid, and biopsy specimens. The container size is optimized to collect necessary sample volumes while remaining easy to handle and transport.

Types of Urine Containers

Urine containers are available in two primary variants: sterile and non-sterile. Both types serve distinct purposes and have specific features tailored to their applications.

Sterile Urine Container

Purpose and Use

Sterile urine containers are primarily used for collecting biological specimens intended for laboratory analyses, including urine, stool, sputum, peritoneal exudate, joint fluid, and biopsy specimens. These containers undergo a sterilization process to ensure that they are free from any contaminants that could interfere with test results.

Features

• Sterilization: Each sterile container is individually wrapped and sterilized, ensuring it is free from contaminants, making it ideal for sensitive diagnostic tests.
• Clear and Dry: The containers are clear to allow immediate visual inspection and are kept dry to prevent any pre-existing moisture from affecting sample integrity.
• Chemically Clean: Designed to be chemically clean, the containers do not interact with the specimen, thus preserving its natural state for accurate diagnostic analysis.
• Tight-Fitting Lids: The lids fit snugly to prevent any potential leakage or contamination, ensuring the safety and purity of the sample.

Non-Sterile Urine Container

Purpose and Use

Non-sterile urine containers are used in situations where sterility is not an absolute requirement, allowing for cost-effective specimen collection. These containers are often used in routine check-ups and preliminary diagnostic assessments.

Features

• Labeling: Each container features a label with space for both doctor and patient information. This facilitates proper identification and tracking of samples, thereby reducing the risk of errors.
• Cost-Effective: Non-sterile containers are more economical, making them a practical choice for less critical applications.
• Tight-Fitting Lids: Like their sterile counterparts, non-sterile containers also have airtight lids to prevent leakage and ensure the sample's integrity.

Urine Container Usage

Urine Collection Purpose

Urine containers play a crucial role in diagnostic tests to assess kidney function and other medical conditions. A 24-hour urine collection test is one such significant diagnostic procedure. It collects urine over a complete 24-hour period, providing a comprehensive overview of kidney function and how the body adjusts to changing physiological needs over time.

Instructions for Use

1. Preparation: Obtain a new, dry, and chemically clean container.
2. Collection: Collect urine using the container as instructed by your healthcare provider. For most tests, collect the first urine of the day, after waking up.
3. Sealing: Once the urine is collected, seal the container with the tight-fitting lid to prevent any spills or contamination.
4. Labeling: If using a non-sterile container, ensure that the label is filled in with the relevant doctor and patient information.
5. Storage: Store the container in a cool place if immediate transportation to the laboratory is not possible.
6. Transportation: Ensure the container is securely sealed and transport it to the laboratory within the recommended time frame to guarantee the accuracy of the test results.

Safety Instructions

• Do not reuse the container to avoid contamination.
• Handle with clean hands or gloves to maintain sample integrity.
• Store specimens at recommended temperatures to prevent deterioration.
• Follow all healthcare provider instructions carefully for accurate specimen collection.
