What prevents someone from bringing another persons urine to a collection facility in order to pass a test? A: Outside of directly observed collections, there is no way to assure that specimens are absolutely that of the person acting as the donor. However several steps are routinely taken at collection facilities to significantly reduce the chance of this happening. All American Research directs all our collection facilities to monitor the temperature of the specimens to assure that the temperature of each specimen falls within the strict temperature ranges consistent with freshly discharged human urine.
