Millie the MLT has started her evening shift in the core lab and sees a urine specimen on the UA bench to be done. She needs to pour it off from the sterile cup that it was collected in to a special tube for the urine analyzer. The urine has arrived with extra computer-generated labels that contain bar codes that the instrument will read. You need to tell me the steps that Millie will take from urine cups on a counter to being placed on the instrument for analysis. Think about pre-analytical issues that could happen with a urine collection and labels and make sure you consider those in your answer. Make a numbered list of steps, please. THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST.
