Urine is sterile (a healthy urine, that is). However, once the urine leaves the body and contacts any skin, piece of hair, object (cup),
anything, it is then no longer sterile.
A free catch will test out the urine,
plus whatever the urine picks up while leaving the body
and entering the specimen cup.
A cysto will test the urine in it's state inside the body, with no introduction of any foreign agents.
Does that make sense?
