When sending biological samples through the post it is important to follow a number of packaging regulations that are detailed below:
- Samples should be sent in a primary leakproof container, e.g. tubes, bottles or ampoules.
- Lids should be properly secured and reinforced with adhesive tape.
- The samples should be individually wrapped using absorbent materials in case of leakage, e.g. tissue paper or cotton wool
- The wrapped samples should then be placed into a secondary bigger leakproof container, e.g. plastic bag.
- It is important to adhere to labelling regulations for biological material.
To transport the samples to the Centre you can either send it through the post or call our Reception on 045 866266. Very important: Remember that the quality of the sample is of huge importance to our technicians so please keep the sample refrigerated prior to transportation.
