[Histonet] Physcian office urine

[Hannen, Valerie]

Good morning,   I am hoping to get your opinion on this.  Do you send Saccommano fluid to the doctor's offices for them to put into there urine for cytology specimens or just have them refrigerate the specimens until delivered to the Lab?  My Lab Manager is asking which is best practice, we both have our opinions, but they don't match.

Happy Lab Week everyone!!

Thanks so much,
