Laboratory samples collected at home

You may collect samples of urine, feces, saliva and sputum at home into collection vessels that you have received from the laboratory.

Laboratory samples collected at home require always a referral for sampling from your health care unit.

Most urine, feces, saliva and sputum samples can be collected at home. For sampling at home, you must use the collection vessel that you have received from the laboratory or your health care unit. Collection vessels and instructions for sampling at home are available during office hours at the Tyks Laboratory sampling units.

The samples collected at home are returned to the sampling collection stations of Tyks Laboratories during their opening hours.You do not need to book a time if you only pick up or return sampling vessels. It is not possible to pick up sample containers from the Tyks Drive-in Parking Garage. Samples can be returned to the Tyks Parking Garage Drive-in if you have booked an appointment for blood sampling.

Instructions for sampling at home are available on the web page care instructions.
