A member asked:

If i receive a clean urine sample at 8:30am and deliver at body temp at 2pm will the sample still be viable?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viable?: Depends on what they're testing for. Usually if looking for infection, that should be fine, although it should be refrigerated. If you're thinking about cheating on a screening, they can usually figure out that its not your sample...
