    Author: Kenda RB, Accetto MO, Lampreht-Rijavec ZS.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Nephrol; 1983 Sep; 4(3):201-4. PubMed ID: 6642870.
    Abstract:
    The object of this study was to design a simple and non-invasive method for the collection of uncontaminated urine samples in children aged up to 4 years. We developed a disposable plastic midstream urine collector for use in combination with a specially designed chair which was simple to use and cost effective. In this study we compared the initial portion, midstream and final portion during a single voiding in 40 children and found significant differences between initial and other fractions of the urine sample.
