Forensic submission
Samples can be shipped via courier or registered
mail. The packaging should be sealed and signed by the investigator. If
the samples are frozen, they should be shipped in a cooler with ice
packs with the label "PLEASE KEEP FROZEN" clearly marked on the outside
of the cooler. Other shipments may require double packaging to protect
against shipping damage.
The seals will be examined following transportation to ensure the package was intact during shipment. Samples submitted to the laboratory for analysis are signed in as evidence and placed in a secure evidence room. A case submission form must be sent with the samples.
