Sample requirements

Sample Requirements Each sample must be sent labelled with 3 patient identifiers and must state the sample type clearly on the sample container. Sample Rejection Samples may be rejected for the following reasons: 1. Samples and request form do not show at least three identical patient identifiers 2. The sample is in the incorrect collection media 3. The request form is not sufficiently completed 4. The sample is not of sufficient volume 5. The sample is too old
