A system is described for collecting small aliquots of each voiding. A pool
of these samples is returned to the laboratory for calculation of the 24-hr
urine volume and for chemical analysis. The components of the system are
reusable so that the cost per collection is likely to be less than that of
cumbersome large bottles.
