Getting it right the first time
Important tips for returning samples
- Ensure handwriting is legible and forms are completed in full.
- Names written on collection samples must match names written on the form (e.g. abbreviations, middle names and initials), must be identical in all fields.
- Please ensure sample is tightly closed; if the sample leaks in transit it will need to be resubmitted (and thus results will be delayed).
- Please ensure correct amount of sample is collected as per instructions (no more or less than as requested).
- Please ensure you put samples back into the supplied specimen bags and then back into the shipping box before placing in the courier bag.
Please note
- All samples must be couriered to our office. We cannot accept samples delivered any other way
- If as a patient you are experiencing any cold or flu symptoms, please wait until you are feeling better before collecting your sample or visiting the laboratory
