Shipping Containers – should be chosen to assure the integrity of the sample is maintained during transportation. The specimen requirements for each assay will note the temperature conditions that must be maintained. It is also recommended to use an exterior box to protect the insulation of the container. Shipping samples in a single walled Styrofoam box increases the risk of failure. If the Styrofoam is damaged the ice or even samples can fall out through the hole and be lost. Placing the Styrofoam in a outer cardboard box increases the protection and minimizes exposure to the outside elements as well as assists in maintaining its integrity if damaged.

Shipping Times – CBRG™ can accept samples at any time required by its customers. However, if receipt is required outside the normal business hours of Monday – Friday 8 AM to 6 PM EST, prior arrangements to shipping should be made with CBRG™ to assure the shipment is expected. Typically, overnight or second day air is recommended. Shipment days should be Sunday through Thursday. Note: when shipping second day air, please assure enough ice or dry ice is available for an extra day of shipping time than expected to assure the integrity of the sample is maintained if the shipment is delayed in transport.

Checking Status – CBRG™ can provide a real time update on the status of samples provided. Please forward the your company name, location of laboratory the shipment originated from, patient name and the patient ID number as well as the contact person and we will forward the requested information. If sending an e-mail, please forward the request to
