Check that the stool specimen container is intact and ready for use. If labeling is required, prepare the patient’s identification information according to the laboratory’s instructions.
Wash your hands before and after specimen collection.

If the sample contains an area of interest such as mucus or blood, follow the laboratory’s collection instructions regarding which portion to include.

After collecting the specimen, place the lid back onto the container and tighten it securely.
A properly sealed container helps minimize leakage and protects the specimen during handling and transportation.
