SPECIMEN COLLECTION CONTAINERS

The Anatomic Pathology biopsy specimens must arrive at the VA in sterile plastic containers/plastic formalin cups (for example, available commercially from BBC Biochemical).

The Cytology specimens (body fluids, urine etc.) must arrive at the VA in the same type of containers but instead of Formalin they come either fresh in saline solution or in 50% alcohol. PAP smears samples come in thinprep solution containers.
