Three levels of fresh filtered human urine are distributed monthly for quality testing of 16 chemistry parameters. Separate acidifed samples are provided for Calcium, Phosphate and Magnesium analysis. Fresh human urine is used as the matrix, with endogenous panel of samples distributed twice a year. This programme includes Albumin/Creatinine ratio and Protein/Creatinine ratio in analyte profile.

Frequency: Monthly

Samples per set: 3 x 2.5mL samples + 3 x 0.5mL acidified
