From the NHS site,
"Collecting a stool sample
Your GP or another healthcare professional, such as a nurse, should explain how to collect the sample. It should be collected in a clean, dry screw-top container.
Your doctor or a member of staff at the hospital will give you a plastic (specimen) container to use, although you can use any clean container as long as you can seal it."
I'm no expert but reading that, the container should be dry.

It appears there are different methods for collecting samples and the information I found is for various symptoms.
The other method is called FIT and is for bowel cancer. Another site says,
"FIT uses a simple faecal collection device that is more hygienic and acceptable to patients for collecting their stool specimen. It only requires one sample rather than the three required for gFOBT. These features combine to promote greater uptake in screening programmes. In addition, the collection device incorporates a preservative buffer that prevents haemoglobin degradation to provide a more accurate result."
