For 24 hour urine, what does the doctor write on the requisition?

i’m in Ontario Canada. My doctor wrote 24 hour urine test on my requisition and they gave me one orange bottle and then I brought it back to a different lab and they said this isn’t how it works.
They said the doctor needs to list specifically what they’re testing for so they can mix it properly with an additive so basically they have to write specifically oxalate uric acid, etc. so they can give you the proper jugs.
Does anybody know exactly what the doctor should write so that everything is tested?
