Preservative not necessary during collection but should be added to urine collection within 24 hours. Special Instructions: State patient's age, sex, and total 24-hour urine volume on the request form and specimen. Specimens submitted without preservative should be acidified after receipt to pH less than or equal to 3 with 6N HCl prior to aliquotting.
