2. **Improper Labeling:** Accurate and clear labeling is crucial for proper specimen
identification. If a specimen is incorrectly labeled or lacks essential information, it might be
rejected to avoid potential mix-ups or misinterpretations.
5. **Expired Collection Materials:** Materials used for specimen collection, such as tubes or
swabs, have expiration dates. If these materials are expired, they may not preserve the
specimen adequately, leading to potential rejection.
7. **Failure to Meet Test Requirements:** Different tests have specific requirements for
specimen type, collection methods, or storage conditions. If a specimen does not meet these
criteria, it may be rejected to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
Each of these factors contributes to the overall quality and reliability of the laboratory testing
process, and rejecting specimens that do not meet standards helps maintain the integrity of
diagnostic procedures.
