Biliribin, Urine Random
Test Name Biliribin, Urine Random (Part of Urinalysis)
Specimen Type / Requirements Container Type = Sterile Container Minimum Testing Volume = 5ml Urine Tube must fill to at least ½ or greater of its vacuum capacity
Specimen Handling Collection Instructions: Collect Sample in a sterile container. The preferred urine specimen especially for macroscopic analysis is a well-mixed first morning “mid-stream”. This is the most concentrated specimen and is most likely to reveal abnormalities. Random urine specimens may be used. Write your initials, date and time of collection on the collection label or requisition. Special Instructions Specimen should be tested within 2 hours of collection. If a delay in examination is unavoidable, the specimen must be refrigerated. The urine must be brought to room temperature before examination Rejection Criteria: Unlabeled, Leaky or Not Sufficient Quantity Samples will be rejected. Stability: Urine Bilirubin is stable for 4 hours at room temperature protected from light, refrigerated for 1 week and for 6 months at -15°C to -20°C. Transportation: Send sample to core lab as soon as possible.
