Calculi samples that are transported in liquid or gel and received wet or bloody will be dried for 48-72 hours prior to analysis.
Interpretive Data
Calculi are the products of physiological processes that yield crystalline compounds in a matrix of biological compounds and blood. Matrix components are not reported. The clinically significant crystalline components identified in calculi specimens are reported. Gross description may not be consistent with the composition determined by FTIR analysis.
Air dry calculi and transfer to an ARUP standard transport tube. Larger calculi specimens may be transferred to a clean, empty urine cup (150 mL) or similar container.
Unacceptable Conditions
Any collection or shipping container with a needle attached.
Storage/Transport Temperature
Room temperature. Also acceptable: Frozen or refrigerated.
Calculi specimens transported in liquid, received in gel, or contaminated with blood require special handling which will delay analysis. Specimens that are wrapped in tape or embedded in wax will delay or prevent analysis and should not be submitted.
Containers
Sterile Plastic Leakproof Container
Reference Interval
