Q1. When Should a Sputum Specimen Be Collected?

A: A sputum culture is a sample of the gooey stuff that often comes up from your chest when you have a lung or airway infection. Doctors use it to determine whether bacteria, viruses, or something else is causing your disease.

Q2: What is the Collection Container for a Sputum Specimen?

A: Sputum specimen collection is designed to collect, hold, and stabilize sputum specimens, and available in several sizes, capacities, materials, etc. It can effectively prevent the drying, spill and leakage of sputum specimen. Sputum specimen collection and handling products are performed for patients whose treatment is been monitored or who are suspect of having lung infections, inflammation, or other disease processes.
