I want to collect the urine portion of the ION Profile separately from the blood draw portion; can I send it in separately?
While it is possible to send the specimens separately as long as they are very clearly marked and it is clearly communicated to the laboratory, we strongly recommend against shipping the specimens separately. If received separately a $25 fee will be assessed due to the time and resources needed to ensure that the specimens are properly cared for and entered into our computer system.
