specimen label

A specimen label is a tag attached to a sample of a biological material, such as blood, tissue, or urine, to identify and provide important information about it. It typically includes details like the patient's name, date and time of collection, type of specimen, and any relevant testing instructions. This label ensures the sample can be accurately tracked, analyzed, and linked to the correct individual, helping healthcare providers deliver accurate diagnosis and treatment. Proper labeling is essential to prevent mix-ups and maintain the quality and reliability of lab results.
