the specimen requirements are written in a format that specifies the requested volume, storage temperature, and any special handling notes. The requested volume is an amount sufficient to allow at least two performances of the assay either singly or in duplicate. Storage temperature is specified as room temperature (15 - 30°C), refrigerated (2 to 10°C) or frozen (-20°C or colder). When temperature is not indicated

A "routine specimen" is any specimen collected routinely, whether in health or in illness.

For example, a new patient in a doctor's office may need a routine

  • urinalysis - a quick test of the urine, done in the office
  • CBC - complete blood count
  • Chem Panel - a test that includes the electrolytes
