Urine samples collected with preservatives for other assays or timed collections which have not been refrigerated are unacceptable.
Collection Comments
Refrigerate during collection. Record TV and collection dates. Can be performed on either a random or a 24 hour urine.
Storage/Transport Temperature
Refrigerated urine
Stability (from collection to initiation)
Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 6 months
Ordering Recommendations
The protein electrophoresis test is used to separate and visualize the urine proteins based on each molecules net charge. Typically the urine protein electrophoresis test is ordered as the screening test for monoclonal bands, with the urine IFE test ordered for confirmation. This test does not reflex to immunofixation upon pathologists interpretation. Order Protein Elp Urn IFE Rflx if reflex is desired.
