Storage of urine specimen

The analysis of a urine specimen should be carried out as soon as possible after urine sampling, due to rapid autolytic changes of the formed elements (cells, cylinders) and propagation of bacteria. Therefore, urine specimens should not be stored at room temperature for more than 2 hours (according to some sources, not more than 30 minutes). It is recommended for urine specimen to be stored at +2 °C to +8 °C, however, the time of storage should be maximally reduced.
If stored in a refrigerator, urinalysis should be carried out within 4 hours from urine sampling.
