Hello Maria,
I sent in my collected sample more than a month ago for batch #7 testing. How realiable would the results be being that it was collected and sent in so long ago? Does this long period of waiting affect the results of quality of the urine sample? That's one concern I have, being I would like to get accurate results as possible and hopefully not having to repeat this test.
Maria is unable to reply directly herself at the moment. She asked me to copy and paste this answer for you

"Hello anonymous, I would like to answer you comment myself, but I am unable to do so as I'm at the hospital to wait for my father to pass away. Therefore, I have asked a MEBO volunteer to relay this message to you for me.
That I know of, the TMAU Test has been around since the 1990s, and frequently, samples have remained frozen for many months. I believe that scientists of the various labs around the world do agree that samples are very safe in a frozen state, since TMA turns into gas at room temperature.
In a post in this blog under the keyword, 'Cleveland Clinic Test' I outlined the methodology Dr Hazen and his staff carried out to design the test. Our program is designed to be very accurate following the procedures set forth by this test, which entails freezing the samples immediately after collection, shipping without ice for 2 to 3 days, and deep freezing until the batch of 15 to 20 samples are collected. The batch will then be shipped to the lab in dry ice using Next Day Service, where it will stored frozen until analyzed. It is understood that this process may take months before its completion.
I hope this address your concerns to your satisfaction.
