*For specimen types other than those listed, please call to confirm specimen acceptability and shipping instructions. For liquid, tissue, swab or fecal specimens, if there will be a delay in shipping or during very warm weather, refrigerate the specimen until shipped and ship with a cold pack unless more stringent shipping requirements are specified. Frozen specimens should be shipped so as to remain frozen in transit. Dry card samples can simply be mailed at room temperature. See shipping instructions for more information.
