A urine sample should be fresh and maintained fresh until testing because bacteria can reproduce between the time of collection and the time of testing.
This is to preserve the urine sample until its tested.
Because if you don't have a fresh sample you won't get an accuate reading.
The first morning urine will give the best result.
Men can be tested for chlamydia. Typically, the test is done on a urine sample.

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.
Testing for alcohol can be performed with an alcohol breath machine, with a sample of blood drawn, with a sample of urine, with a sample of mouth fluid, or with a sample of sweat.
Only a small amount is used for any given test so a sample could be tested many times.
Yes.
If temperature is being used to verify that the urine came from the correct person the temperature of the sample is an indicator that the urine is/may not be a fresh/valid sample...if the temperature is lower than expected.

The only way to be sure is if they actually watch you urinate and supply the sample to be tested.
It depends on how the first sample was tested. If the first half was tested on a dipstick test and you KNOW you haven't been doing drugs--say, you're taking naproxen sodium for knee pain and you come up positive for marijuana (naproxen cross-reacts with the THC test), testing the split sample with GC/MS should clear you. OTOH, if you smoke weed and your first sample came up positive on GC/MS, assume the split sample will also be positive.
It's not good anymore for testing once cold, it has to be fresh warm urine for the test to work properly.
When you submit a urine sample at the drug testing laboratory, the temperature of the urine is tested and you cannot bring a sample of urine which has been in the fridge. Once the urine is delivered, it is tested before it is refrigerated. There are changes in urine which can be detected by a microscope to see if it has been in the fridge even if you do manage to warm it to body temperature at delivery to the lab. Reputable labs will test for any kind of alteration in the composition of the urine. It is not advisable to attempt to cheat on a drug test.
