Can I collect a urine sample in a container instead of holding the stick in my urine stream?
Yes, you will need to collect your urine sample in a clean dry container. Immerse the absorbent sampler tip halfway in the urine for 20 seconds. Keeping the tip pointing downwards, replace the cap and read the results after 3 minutes. If your urine sample has to be stored for more than one hour, it should be kept in the refrigerator (do not freeze) and then allowed to reach room temperature again for about half an hour before doing the test.
