Fresh tissue samples.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sample shipped<em>\u00a0<\/em>with inadequate or no cooling.<\/li>\n<li>For Friday cases, fresh tissue samples should be refrigerated over the weekend and shipped on Monday by overnight courier service.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of 3-day weekends and ship after the weekend; refer to\u00a0Business Hours. Fresh tissue samples shipped without secondary, leak-proof packaging; interior of shipping container soiled with blood and body fluids.<\/li>\n<li>No warning (phone call, email, or note on package) of potentially zoonotic disease samples in package.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2. Biopsy and other histopathology samples<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biopsy samples have no label on the specimen container; include animal name, owner name, and clinic case number.<\/li>\n<li>Biopsy sample submitted without secondary, leak-proof packaging.<\/li>\n<li>Biopsy submitted in pill bottles, which are not designed for fluid containment.<\/li>\n<li>Fresh tissue wedged into a rigid container with small opening. After fixation, the firm, fixed tissue cannot be removed without cutting open the container.<\/li>\n<li>Submission form placed in secondary container with leaking biopsy; papers arrive soaked in formalin.<\/li>\n<li>Biopsy shipped in container with Biohazard symbol. This is not necessary and creates high levels of concern if identified by the courier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. Blood tubes<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blood tube boxes and containers contain discarded needles.<\/li>\n<li>Blood tubes inadequately packaged; arrive leaking due to loose caps or stopper, or tube broken.<\/li>\n<li>Blood tubes inadequately labeled.<\/li>\n<li>Blood tubes coated in dried, crusted blood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>4. Forms<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use of out-date forms. Current approved forms are available at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/avdl\/forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submission Forms<\/a>. Incomplete veterinary contact information.<\/li>\n<li>Submission form lacks signature of submitting, responsible person.<\/li>\n<li>Incomplete client identification on form<\/li>\n<li>Incomplete animal identification on form: ID, breed, sex, age<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"tablepress-2-name\" class=\"tablepress-table-name tablepress-table-name-id-2\">Shipping Options<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-2\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-2\" aria-labelledby=\"tablepress-2-name\" aria-describedby=\"tablepress-2-description\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Service Type<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Weight Limit<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Additional Restrictions<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/row.ups.com\/GuestAccess\/Guest\/Entry?Company=33d13a51-488b-4f60-b6e0-3fc35570ebce\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UPS Ground<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">40 lbs. or less<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Sent from Alabama<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/row.ups.com\/GuestAccess\/Guest\/Entry?Company=33d13a51-488b-4f60-b6e0-3fc35570ebce\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UPS Next Day Air<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">20 lbs. or less<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Sent from Alabama<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/row.ups.com\/GuestAccess\/Guest\/Entry?Company=33d13a51-488b-4f60-b6e0-3fc35570ebce\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UPS Next Day Air<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">10 lbs. or less<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Sent from GA, TN, FL and MS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/row.ups.com\/GuestAccess\/Guest\/Entry?Company=33d13a51-488b-4f60-b6e0-3fc35570ebce\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UPS Next Day Air<\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">10 lbs. or less<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Sent from the other 43 contiguous states<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<span id=\"tablepress-2-description\" class=\"tablepress-table-description tablepress-table-description-id-2\">*Shipping samples outside of the approved weight will incur an additional charge.<\/span>\n<!-- #tablepress-2 from cache -->\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COMMON PROBLEMS WITH SAMPLES The following common mistakes create safety concerns, degrade the diagnostic value of specimens, and delay the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":2734,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"folder":[],"class_list":["post-2843","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2843"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2843\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3713,"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2843\/revisions\/3713"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"folder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agi.alabama.gov\/animalindustries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/folder?post=2843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
