Whole blood and urine (random)
Volume
2 mL blood and 5 mL urine
Minimum Volume
0.6 mL blood and 2.4 mL urine

Collection
As β2-microglobulin can degrade under acidic conditions in the bladder, workers should empty their bladder and then drink a large glass of water at the start of the visit. Urine should then be collected within one hour. The pH of the urine should be measured and adjusted to 6-8, if necessary, using 0.1 N NaOH.
Storage Instructions
Maintain specimen at room temperature. Refrigerated storage is recommended if the specimen is not submitted to the laboratory for testing within two days of collection.
