Get a fresh sample tested in a laboratory !
If properly sealed and stored, urine samples are good for testing up to 24 hours after the sample given. The urine sample should be in a sterile container within a sealed plastic bag and stored in a refrigerator.
2 weeks
It's not good anymore for testing once cold, it has to be fresh warm urine for the test to work properly.
== == That depends on what you're testing for. Urine drug levels are good at room temp or in the fridge for several days. Microalbumin testing is also good for several days in the fridge. However, if the urine is being collected for a routine urinalysis or a microscopic, the urine needs to be tested as soon as possible. Cellular components, bilirubin, and urobilinogen break down quickly after specimen collection, and bacterial growth causes glucose to decrease and protein and pH to increase. In my laboratory we only accept urines for urinalysis within 2 hours of collection if held at room temp, or within 4 hours if kept refrigerated.
PH testing refers to testing a sample for its acidity or basicity. Therefore, there is no good or bad result. It depends on what is being tested, and for what purpose. A pH level of 7 is neutral.
not unless you, or in the case you are a minor you're parents, request a drug screening. You can't be drug tested without knowing you're being tested first, it's illegal. On the other hand who knows what these doctors do with your urine! Good Luck! -J
Depends on what you are testing for but usually 24 hours. LMG, BSMT ASCP
There is none. Most labs cannot get a good reading if the urine sample is very diluted and will know this is the reason. At best it would require submitting another sample to be tested. Some states consider submitting a diluted sample as a violation and will still obtain another to get a good reading.
I would want to be tested for cancer. It will probably be good to know if i got cancer
