Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The container using a screw-top lid is not a reason for rejection of a urine specimen by the laboratory. However, a screw-top lid is not the preferred type of lid for a urine specimen container as it may not provide an adequate seal and can result in leakage. The other options (nonmatching label, specimen contaminated with feces, contamination on the exterior of the container) are all valid reasons for rejection of a urine specimen.
