Sealing your sample
We hope you find your instructions easy to follow. All the steps are important, and this short video gives you extra support with steps 4, 5 and 6, where you close your collection tube and release the preservation fluid. Jessica Childs, our Head of Product, shows you exactly what to do. The fluid keeps your sample stable on its way to our laboratory, so we can process it and give you accurate results.
Steps 4 to 6 at a glance
Step 4. Hold the tube upright, line up the cap, then push and screw it on at the same time. Stop as soon as you hear a click.
Step 5. Before you tighten the cap fully, press the white button down to release the preservation fluid. Keep pressing until all of the fluid is inside the tube.
Step 6. Screw the cap on tightly, then shake the tube back and forth four times. Keep it at room temperature until you're ready to post it.
Please check before you post. The white button should stay locked inside the cap once you've pressed it down, and all of the fluid should be in the tube. If the fluid hasn't been released, our laboratory won't be able to process your sample.
Need a hand?
If anything doesn't look right, or the fluid has leaked, email us at test@pelvicrelief.co.uk before you post your sample. We'll talk you through it and can send you a replacement swab and tube if you need one.
