Question re Genova 24hr thyroid urine test

Anyone know how long it takes to freeze the urine sample before it can be posted??

I can only test on a Wednesday due to bring at work mon/tues. Final sample collection will be first thing Thursday morning, so I will pop it in the freezer around 8am. I need to have it in the post by 2.30pm to catch the last delivery to give it time to arrive before they close for the weekend. Is that enough time??? Never tried to freeze pee before (lol!!), so I've no idea how long it takes to freeze, or if there is a minimum freeze time?!

Scorchio, it may be better to contact Genova and ask. I don't think members routinely use thyroid urine tests unless they have a practitioner who can interpret the results.
