The study of microorganisms and parasites also involve specimen collection for observation and further study. Collection of specimen of this type should be done in such manner that the health care provider collecting the specimen should also be free from contamination and infection. In this manner, specimen collection technique is of great use. Cellulose tape perianal swab is a method involve in the collection of pinworms scientifically known as Enterobius vermicularis, a common parasite thriving in the lower digestive tract of humans infecting most children and even in adults. Symptoms of this disease is itching around the anus. No serious medical consequences is caused by pinworms but constant itching may cause infection around the anus area. Urine sample collection is another form of specimen collection urine samples are collected for biochemical and microbial sampling. Proper method of urine sample collection is essential for correct diagnostic results.
