Stool Collection

The stool specimen collection kit consists of one, two or three different vials. The vials may or may not have liquid in them. Collect the stool specimen in a wide mouth container, bedpan or on a clean newspaper or plastic bag placed over the toilet seat opening. Do not pass the specimen into the toilet or directly into the collection vial. Do not mix urine or water with the sample. Open the vial(s) carefully. Using the collection spoon attached to the cap, add enough specimen until the liquid reaches the Red “Fill Line” on the label. Fill only one vial at a time and replace the cap onto the same vial. Do not mix the caps. If you are using an empty vial, fill to one-half full with stool specimen.
