No . The urine should be tested immediately with a home test or the sample provided at the doctor's office or clinic. Sometimes you will be asked to bring a sample to the lab of the 1st urine you pass in the morning. But it should be that same day, not stored for 3 days.

No, three day old urine will probably not be useful for a lab test. Urine should be as recent as possible - preferably less than an hour old when tested. The age of the urine will affect the results differently depending on the type of test(s) being performed.

If a test cannot be performed immediately, urine should be refrigerated (but not frozen).

If urine is old will a drug test show it?

Yes, but only if it has been freezedried and reconstituted within 2 hours before the test. Urine generally is of no use once it has been exposed to the air. It's only good if you don't allow it time & atmosphere to spoil. Anomal urine can also be used, and is undetectable, as they don't test for source, but only what is in it.


Can you pass a urine test with 7 day old refrigerated urine?

the test can result in negative but with that said the urine would not be body temperature and that would be a huge red flag to whom ever is giving the drug test. so yes you could pass but the test giver would know it's probably not yours.


Can you use 24 hour old urine for a drug test?

No. When given a drug test you will be watched to make sure you don't cheat. The chemicals used will be able to tell that the urine is old as well as what drugs you have taken. If they have any doubt with a urine test they can test your hair and that will show what drugs you have had.

Can a lab tech detect old urine?

For the last two years SOME labs have been testing for synthetic urine. When you get caught, they usually have you come in the next day to retest. So it depends on the lab. If it is just a simple 5 panel test that they dip the stick into on the spot, you won't get caught, but if they send it out to a lab, there is a chance they will discover that it is synthetic.

If the urine is old will it test posative for drugs if urine is really clean of drugs but just old?

no... but, drug tests show how old the urine is and the urine is always tested with a thermometer to make sure that it is YOUR body temp... the best way to pass a urine test is to know how long drugs will be in your system dont smoke weed one month before a drugs test dont take exstacy, cocaine, ketamine etc 1-2 weeks before a drugs test... LSD on the other hand (my specialist subject) cannot be traced after 6 hours of taking it... NO drugs tests test for acid :) hope this helps :)
