A member asked:
How long are specimens good for additional reliable testing? doctor ordered chlamydia/gc test and 6days later ordered a trich test using same specimen
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preservatives: The lab doing the testing would let your dr. Know if the specimen was outdated. Often, preservatives can be introduced in the specimen as well, making it viable for future testing. If the lab did not have a problem with adding the test, than all is fine.
