Have spoken to practice nurse about this sample, apparently it is part of their health screening programme and they test urine with multistix, in the surgery, for this they get paid extra, and this extra payment is a "carrot"  to encourage GPs to do the testing, hence they call it the "Carrot screen", and we should not have received it.

So all you who answered were incorrect! But thanks for the feedback.  

And there was I just about to investigate Modified Protocols for Rapid Carrot GenomicDNA Extraction and AFLP(tm) Analysis using SilverStain or Radioisotopes (source: google scholar). As suggested by one of the replies.
