A fecal specimen should be frozen as soon as possible after collection to preserve its integrity for testing. Typically, it can be frozen within 2 hours of collection and should be stored at -20°C (-4°F) or lower. If properly frozen, it can be stored for several months, although it's best to check specific laboratory guidelines for optimal storage duration. Always ensure the specimen is in a suitable container to prevent contamination.
