7.7 Transport/handover of Samples
7.7.1 The Blood Samples shall be transported to the Laboratory in a refrigerated state. No sample should be allowed to freeze, and should ideally be kept at a temperature of approximately 4 degrees. Temperature should be maintained between 2 – 12 degrees Celsius. A temperature recording device is recommended to be included with the transported samples to ensure the appropriate temperature range has been maintained during transport.
7.7.2 Samples should remain in an upright position during transportation, whenever possible.
7.7.3 Samples may be taken directly to the Laboratory by the DCO, or handed over to a third party for transportation. This third party must document the chain of custody of the samples. If an approved courier company is used to transport the samples, the DCO shall record the waybill number.
7.7.4 Due to the more stringent temperature and analysis requirements for blood, blood and urine samples may be transported separately. The relevant paperwork linking the two samples shall be included with each shipment, however.
7.7.5 Transport of Blood Sample(s) from site of collection to Laboratory should be made as soon as possible and preferably within 36 hours of collection.
7.7.6 The Laboratory is required to document receipt and the subsequent chain of custody of samples. Samples are reviewed for evidence of tampering or damage, and stored in appropriate conditions until analysis in accordance with the International Standard for Laboratories.
