Urine test at home

Step 1

Open the collection cup

Twist off the lid of the collection cup. Do not touch the inside.

Step 2

Collect urine (midstream)

Pass a small amount of urine into the toilet first to flush the urethra. Then collect urine in the cup (about 30 ml). The rest into the toilet again. Twist the lid back on firmly.

Step 3

Swirl (3 to 5 times)

Gently swirl the collection cup 3 to 5 times so the urine is homogeneous.

Step 4

Remove the label from the lid

Peel off the label on the lid so the opening becomes visible.

Step 5

Press the urine tube into the opening

Press the urine tube firmly into the opening. Have multiple tubes? Do them one at a time.

Step 6

The tube fills itself by vacuum

The tube fills automatically via vacuum. Wait until the flow stops, then there is enough urine inside.

Step 7

Low on urine? Tilt the cup

If urine is low: tilt the cup so the opening stays fully submerged. If it still does not work, collect additional urine.

Step 8

Discard the collection cup

Pull the tube loose. The collection cup can go in regular household waste.

Step 9

Fill every tube if you have multiple

Have multiple urine tubes in your kit? Fill them all, each analysis needs its own tube. Then pack them in the included specimen bag and envelope.
