If your collection paper becomes damaged or unusable, don't worry! You can still collect your sample using a clean, dry, disposable container placed inside your toilet bowl.

You can also use this method if you find it easier than the collection device provided.

Important collection tips:

  • Ensure the container is clean and dry, and that your sample does not come into contact with toilet water, urine or cleaning products.

  • Collect your sample from your first bowel movement of the day.

  • Follow the instructions provided with your kit when transferring your sample into the collection devices.

  • If you miss an approved collection or postage day, you may need to wait until the next suitable day to collect your sample.
