Then, in a sterile container, collect about three to six ounces.
The container can be removed from the urine stream after enough is collected.
You would then give the sample to your health care provider for testing..
Midway through urination, fill the container to half full.
Finish voiding into the toilet.
Open the second container (with preservative) and pour an amount of urine equivalent to preservative into the container.
NOTE: Do not urinate directly into the container..
