Seminal fluid collected in a sterile container

Patient Preparation
1. The best method for collection of seminal fluid is masturbation without aid of a lubricant directly into a clean, dry, room temperature wide-mouth glass or hard plastic container. A specimen collected in any way other than masturbation is not acceptable because it may interfere with the test results. The use of a condom for specimen collection is not acceptable because it also may interfere with the test results.
2. The patient must abstain from ejaculation (sexual activity/intercourse) for at least 48 hours before collecting this specimen. However, do not abstain for longer than 7 days before specimen collection.
