Non-sterile specimen containers are used in a variety of different institutions. This includes medical facilities, drug testing facilities, rehabilitation centers, fertility clinics, specialty offices, long-term care facilities, and even in-home health visits.
Not only will you find them in many different settings, but they also have a lot of different uses. Their primary purpose is to collect bodily fluids. That includes such things as urine, mucous, or stool. Once collected in a specimen container, these fluids can be tested either in-house or at a third-party testing site to check for various substances or to assist in diagnostics.
