A member asked:

How long can a stool sample be in the refrigerator before it is taken into the lab. this sample is for parasites?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The lab usually examines for eggs of parasites rather than parasites per se. Eggs are quite stable for days. Even the parasite, if present will be recognizable after a day or two in a fridge.
