How to prepare your sample for shipping

Call us at +34 932.301.270 and we will take care of a smooth sample pick-up and shipping.

How to prepare your sample for shipping?

  • Blood-EDTA, purified DNA, saliva, blood on paper, cord blood, biopsy, … are stable at room temperature for 3 or 4 days. Samples can be sent, adequately protected, by ordinary mail or courier.
  • Amniotic fluid (a minimum of 10 ml collected in a sterile falcon test tube). Can be sent at room temperature and low temperatures should be avoided. Samples should reach our laboratory in no more than 24 hours.
  • Chorionic villi samples must travel in the same way, in a tube with conical bottom FILLED TO CAPACITY with PBS or culture medium.
  • Cultured cells should be shipped at room temperature, in a culture flask filled to capacity with culture medium.
  • Blood for cfDNA analysis: must be shipped at room temperature.
