Warming up sample cup with piss pre-Quick Fix
I've heard of people doing this. If your urine is fairly dirty (edit: extremely dirty, with little or no attempt at dilution), would this be a good idea?? I don't really see how it wouldn't if you dump it out completely. Even if there's a couple drops in there, they would be SO diluted that they wouldn't register. Or, what if you had a handkerchief in your pocket and you wiped it clean after dumping (I know gross, but what can a brother do). Plus, I think this would heat the container significantly, so if your QF wasn't quite up to temp, it wouldn't immediately come down further by the container sucking the heat out of it.
Anyway, does anyone think this is a bad idea?? I'm considering it only for emergencies if the QF is below 96 degrees. I've heard of 94 degree cutoff, so I'm playing it safe as possible. Let me know your thoughts.
I have complete faith in this QF unless the tech were to smell it and ask for more! I've heard of this happenning, but I'm sure it's rare as hell. Any sane tech is going to skip the part where they smell the urine (although I've heard that's standard practice too). I also had a fear of not having enough, but I'm just going to take 2 bottles. Overkill....probably, but at least I'm not worried anymore. My nutsack'll be hot!!!
later,

A lack of odor can occur in some human samples. Collectors are not gonna sniff every sample that comes their way. Thats disgusting.
However, red flags can be raised if the collector is tipped off by any obvious foreign odor thats not supposed to be present in human urine (e.g. bleach, household chemicals, etc).
