The percutaneous aspiration of body fluids such as pleural, pericardial and synovial fluids must be performed aseptically to avoid contamination of the specimen and to prevent the introduction of microorganisms into these anatomical spaces. If the specimen is sufficient, it may be injected into a sterile tube or vial. Otherwise, the syringe, with needle removed and syringe re-capped, may be sent to the laboratory for culture. As much material as possible should be sent to the lab. A small amount of sterile heparin may be added to the fluid collected, e.g. rinsing the syringe beforehand with heparin in order to prevent clot formation. A minimum volume of 2 mL is necessary for the combination of routine cultures, fungal cultures, and acid fast cultures.

Transport to the laboratory as soon as possible after collection.
