Sampling of the chair is either for a specified period of time (such as 72 hours ) and without the specification related to a specific time . Because stool samples can not be obtained "on demand " a fair collection includes patient learning need to ensure the correctness of the harvest maneuvers without distorting the laboratory test result


Materials needed:

• collection container with lid
• gloves
• Two wooden tongue depressors (or other specific instruments offers laboratory re-quotes )
• paper towel or paper bag
• bedpan
• Patient reminder labels
• Laboratory analysis request form

Harvesting:
 will explain the procedure to the patient to ensure cooperation and fairness to maneuver harvest
A) a single sample collection without time specification
 patient (if admitted ) is asked to announce the sensation of imminent defecation
 patient is instructed to take a seat canteen . Same patient who harvest home alone . If patients will not use the toilet and canteen , the seat will be mixed with toilet water interfering with test results. Also , the seat must not be mixed with urine pH because it can inhibit the growth of bacteria in the stool .
