than 15 mg/dL this test cannot be run. Correct method of collection for 24-hour
specimens: 1. Discard first morning specimen. 2. Save all urine voided, up to
and including the first morning specimen at the end of the 24 hours. 3. All
24-hour collections should be refrigerated or kept on ice. 4. Collection dates
and times must be noted on the chemistry test request. 5. If submitting more
