A specimen label typically should include the patient's full name, a unique identification number (such as a medical record number), the date and time of collection, the type of specimen, and the initials or identification of the person who collected the specimen. These elements ensure accurate identification and traceability of the specimen throughout the testing process. Proper labeling is crucial for patient safety and the integrity of laboratory results.
