Boric acid preservation of urine samples

I A Porter et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

Comparison of the results of bacteriological culture and microscopic examination of urine samples transported over a distance by the dip-inoculum transport medium, ice-box, and boric acid preservation with "natural" urine specimens showed that the last, in a final concentration of 1.8%, gives satisfactory preservation.
