A member asked:
Can a stool sample be kept refrigerated and delivered the next day to lab ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If depends on what test is planned. If it is just for ova, it does not need to be refrigerated. If it is for DNA analysis then it should be refrigerated. Ask the doctor who is ordering the test.
