Infant Stool Collections
- It is often very difficult to obtain a specimen on a baby, except in a diaper. A diaper soiled with stool will be accepted, but it is not optimal.
- The best way to collect in a diaper is to reverse the diaper, do not use the absorbent side of the diaper.
- Also, it is recommended to place a urine bag on the child so that there is no urine contamination.
- The specimen must still be less than 1 hour old.
Transport Container
