What role does acid preservative play in 24 hr urine collection for catecholamines?

What role does acid preservative play in 24hr urine collection for
catecholamines?

Does the acid prevent the breakdown of catecholamines?

Is a catecholamine test result valid from a 24 hr urine sample that has the
acid added after the completed sample is delivered to the lab?
