The AMAS requisition form lists the instructions on how to prepare and ship the serum sample to Oncolab. Some patients and labs have problems shipping samples for one of multiple reasons. We have worked with FedEX, UPS and USPS to find the best way to ship samples. Place three pounds of dry ice and the sample (sample in plastic Nunc tube and Nunc tube inside the supplied plastic bag) into the styrofoam box. Place the styrofoam box into the cardboard box and place paperwork on top, tape the cardboard shipping container closed. Place the supplied UN 1845 (Dry Ice) and the soon to be supplied UN 3373 (Biological Substance) labels on the outside of the shipping container. Ship the package with either FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Next Day Air. A FedEx clinical pack is not needed. See Pointers on Shipping Clinical Samples which documents how to send a clinical sample. If needed, a dry ice label can be found here. The patient is responsible for the shipping charges.
