Specimen Shipping Preparations. After measuring temperature and visibly inspecting the urine specimen, the collection agent should tighten and seal the specimen shipping container. The collection agent places a security label (initialed and dated by the employee) over the bottle cap, overlapping the bottle sides. A double-pouch bag will be used for shipping, with one (1) side for the urine specimen and the other for paperwork. The collection agent places the urine specimen in the sealable pocket of the specimen bag and then seals the bag. The collection agent places laboratory copies of the urine custody and control form in the back sleeve of the double-pouch bag. The collection agent places the sealed specimen bag in the shipping box.
