Abstract
The most common urine specimen received is the per-urethral voided urine. Healthy urethra is unsterile and it is extremely critical that urine specimens be collected carefully to minimise urethral contamination. There are several types of urine specimens and the results of each type are determined by different guidelines. Therefore, it is essential that each urine specimen received by the laboratory is clearly labelled as to the type of collection of urine specimen.
