Hamilton Sundstrand is holding the drive, which begins on Monday and runs daily through the end of July -- including weekends -- until the coffers are full. Program goal: 30 liters a day. All bladder contributions are welcome. "Unlike in the doctor’s office, you do not need to worry about starting collection midstream," the memo states. "Our testing will be much more accurate if you collect as much of the entire urination as possible including the beginning." Urine drive organizers offer a few guidelines to help donors with the logistics. Among their tips: If at work, take a wide-mouthed beaker to the bathroom to collect your urine (beakers available from the first-floor lab), fill 'er up and deliver to the lab. If you're peeing at home, put a lid on the beaker and slap on a label with the amount of your donation. ("Bottles with lids are not marked with volumetric measurements," explains the memo.) Oh, and fresh samples only, please: No urine older than one hour can be put in the collection. "We suggest that morning urine be collected at home, but not night-time urine," the memo states. Donations will be kept confidential -- sort of. "A donor number will be assigned to you so that we can keep track of donations without listing names," the memo said. No advice, however, on how to make your contributions tax-deductible. Related Links: Irene Klotz's blog: Free Space |
