How is the sample temperature maintained?
The proper acceptance temperature of a sample is the single most critical check that a collection site performs. The collection site personnel use temperature as a control because it is difficult to maintain proper temperature of a carried sample even if carried next to the body. Our kits come with chemically reactive heat packets (four included per kit) that work in conjunction with your body’s natural thermal mass to maintain proper sample temperature for a full ten hours per heat pack used. You simply activate a heat pack by removing it’s cellophane wrapper, it will start to heat up immediately, then you apply it to the sample reservoir and place the sample anywhere next to your body that fits your needs for concealment. Body heat alone is NOT enough to maintain proper acceptance temperature. Our kits provide you the means to keep proper temperature maintained for an exceptionally long use window.
