For biopsy samples:
Primary (innermost) packages
- Place the 2 biopsy specimen vials in their provided “Ziploc” bag with absorbent material.
- Please ensure all caps are tightly closed.

- Collection kits will no longer be provided separately from biopsy kits.
- Please submit whole urine or urine supernatant in a sealed tube without additives.
- Place the urine in a “Ziploc” bag to contain contents in case of breakage or spillage of the tube.

- Use 3 to 4 cold packs to keep contents well chilled until delivered.
- Put completed submission form(s) and any additional medical records in a separate “Ziploc” bag on top of ice packs/samples.
- Seal the outer package with packing tape, ensuring arrows are pointing upward and “Keep Refrigerated” is visible.
