24 hour pee test

Not a question so much as a gripe. I have to do a 24 hour collection for my nephrologists appointment - aren't they a pain in the rear?

So I will be sticking close to home this Saturday. Luckily I have nothing planned. Then blood tests on Sunday. Hooray!

I've  never  been given  "pee preservative"    I had  no  idea  that  even  existed.
If  I ever  have to  do  one,  I  will  definitely  ask about it.
Thanks!

Every 24-hour or 48-hour collect I've ever done, they've instructed NOT to refrigerate. They always give me this little tube full of "pee preservative" to add to the collection-bottle.

Maybe different collection system?

I always use Litholink, so maybe it's just something they do, specifically.
