Additional Information / Notes
The urine specimen should be examined immediately. Specimens are
acceptable for up to 1 hour at room temperature. Specimens may be
preserved by refrigeration, up to 2 hours, at 2-8 C, or transferred
to a UA preservative tube. The urine is acceptable for analysis in
the preservative tube up to 72 hours at room temp. Refrigeration of
the preservative tube will not extend the stability beyond 72
hours. Unpreserved urine samples allowed to sit at room temperature
will decompose and may yield erroneous results.
