  • Room Temperature or Refrigerated: 4 - 30°C up to 60 days

  • Refrigerated: -20°C to -70°C up to 60 days for urines and 12 months for swabs

Specimen Rejection

  • Received outside of stability

  • Specimen not stored properly

  • < 1 mL volume of media in the swab tube

  • No swab in the media
