Yes, you can collect a urine sample the night before it needs to go to the lab, but it's important to store it properly. The sample should be kept in a cool place, such as a refrigerator, to minimize bacterial growth and degradation. However, for the most accurate results, it's often recommended to follow specific instructions from your healthcare provider regarding timing and storage. Always check with the lab or your doctor for any specific guidelines related to your test.

The reason to refrigerate urine after collecting a sample is to avoid bacteria from forming in it. If a sample of urine will be taken to a lab within an hour of collecting it, then it does not need refrigerated.
A physician may send a urine sample to a lab for culture to identify and determine the type of bacteria causing a urinary tract infection. This information helps in selecting appropriate antibiotics for treatment.
nope, well, kind of. You can fool the test by using fake urine or by drinking a lot of water to dilute your urine the night before.
A urine sample may not be good for lab testing if it is contaminated with water, soap, or other substances, as this can affect the accuracy of the results. Additionally, if the sample has been improperly stored or is too old, it may not provide reliable results.
Yes, urine can be stored in the fridge before lab testing. In fact, urine is always supposed to be stored in cooler temperatures for testing. This prevents the growth of bacteria in the urine.
There is no best, they are all useless and do nothing but mask what is in your urine. If the sample is sent to a lab then they will find it regarless of what your try to use to flush it out. Vinegar or cranberry juice do nothing, and i have even heard of using bleach...which will not only not do anything for your urine sample, but it would probably kill you or send you to the hospital at the very least. If it is a dipstrip test, your best bet is to dilute your urine by drinking large amounts of water to the poin that your piss is as clear as water. If the sample is going to a lab, then you are screwed. The best urine detoxification for a drug test is abstinence.
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.
Yes, a doctor or lab technician can distinguish between male and female urine on a drug screen based on the presence of specific hormones or markers that are unique to each gender. Additionally, the lab may conduct secondary tests to confirm the gender of the urine sample if necessary.
They use a urine sample and it is lab tested. Hampton knight is the company that carries out the test.
No. Your doctor will write a request form for the lab to test your sample (blood, urine, faces, swab etc). Depending on the test you may need to collect the sample yourself e.g. urine or stool sample. If it is a blood test, you will need to go to phlebotomy at your local hospital to have a sample of blood collected. However, some nurses at your local surgery may do this. For biopsies of skin or complex procedures you may need to attend a specialised clinic to have the sample collected. A prescription is only for medication. Not for a laboratory test.
yes depending on how and who (expense wise) do the test, different lab tests (companys) can do the test depending on the cost(for the company) and how far they look into it. Different procedures cost more money but hey could be wrong not a scientist
