The first morning sample (the first sample after waking up) is considered the best, but a random sample can be taken at any time during the day. Urine samples must be sent to the laboratory within two hours of collection.
The area around the urinary opening must be washed well with water without drying. The middle sample must be collected in a sterile container after removing the first and last parts of the sample from this container.

Stool should be collected in a clean, dry container with a tight lid. It is preferable to take three samples over three consecutive days (if possible) for the most accurate results if a parasitic infection is suspected. Samples should not be contaminated with urine, water, or any disinfectant. The sample should be protected from direct sunlight and delivered to the laboratory within one to two hours, depending on its condition. If the sample is liquid, it should be delivered to the laboratory within half an hour. The test should be performed before starting antibiotics or intestinal antiseptics. If antibiotics are being taken, please specify the type or complete the treatment. Wait seven days for analysis, unless the treating physician advises otherwise.
The patient should not brush their teeth on the day of the sample collection. The test used is highly specific and detects only human blood, so there is no conflict with eating meat before the test..
The patient must drink sufficient amounts of water the day before the test and the morning of the test. They must arrive at the lab in the morning and should not brush their teeth before the sample is taken. The sample is collected in a sterile container, and it must be confirmed that it is spit and not saliva.
You must ensure that the test is done before starting to take the antibiotic. If an antibiotic has been taken, please clarify its type or finish the treatment with it and wait 3 days for the test unless the treating physician has a different opinion. .
All samples are collected by the physician in charge. Samples can be refrigerated, except for the cerebrospinal fluid sample. It is recommended to take the tubes from the laboratory to collect this sample.
