Hi all, Question about urine collection.. How do you deal with loss of urine due to spillage during collection? Example: When the subject discharges into the container, when clinic staff transfer the collected samples into a bigger bottle (24 hour pooling). Someone suggested that one should soak up the spillage with a towl and measure the volume spilled  That's an idea...Thanks John |

Hi John! ❝ How do you deal with loss of urine due to spillage during collection? Example: When the subject discharges into the container, when clinic staff transfer the collected samples into a bigger bottle (24 hour pooling). Spillage? Beware of shaky hands; get younger employees or use a funnel.  ❝ Someone suggested that one should soak up the spillage with a towl and measure the volume spilled How would one measure the volume then? Doable would be to weigh the towel (dry/wet) and calculate the volume based on measured density of the main sample. Is that really worth the efforts? — Dif-tor heh smusma 🖖🏼 Довге життя Україна! ![[image]](https://static.bebac.at/pics/Blue_and_yellow_ribbon_UA.png) Helmut Schütz ![[image]](https://static.bebac.at/img/CC by.png) The quality of responses received is directly proportional to the quality of the question asked. 🚮 Science Quotes |

Hi Helmut, ❝ How would one measure the volume then? Doable would be to weigh the towel (dry/wet) and calculate the volume based on measured density of the main sample. Is that really worth the efforts? Yes, or squeeze out the fluid??? I think your idea would be better. John |
