Specimen Collection, Transport & Storage
Important
This section is relevant to SOPs involving the direct use of specimens, which will predominately consist of laboratory procedures.
The ‘Specimen Collection, Transport & Storage’ section of an SOP should outline the correct procedures for collection of the specimen from its source (e.g. a patient), the transport of the specimen to the laboratory, and the subsequent storage requirements on receipt of the specimen.
