I have done urinalysis and culture - two as a matter of fact over the course of two months just recently.  No issues on either and was told the sample was excellent.  I am not buying it sorry and if infection there is alot of bacteria so a little contamination is not going to make much of a difference if there is an infection and if there is a little bacteria then most likely no infection.     
I guess you can be the purists and i will stick to my approach as has worked for 6 years for us and only one uti in 6 years when dd was a pup so i guess we are doing ok but i always appreciate hearing both sides in an intelligent non attacking way so thanks Crystal and Kellie for doing so.   |  
 
  So I am attacking YOU 

  I was trying to explain to you that what you are saying is not correct about sterility.  But then again there really is no reason to try to explain anything to someone who is so knowledgeable it boarders on dangerous.
