Timed, unpreserved (12 or 24 hr) collection is most commonly requested for urine calcium analysis. This type of collection involves collecting all urine produced over a specific period of time (usually 12 or 24 hours) without using any preservatives. This allows for accurate measurement of the amount of calcium being excreted in the urine.
