Instructions:

1. Ship specimens in appropriate leak-proof containers.

2. Screw-cap closures must be reinforced with tape and/or double enclosed.

3. Label each specimen container with owner's last name, animal name/number and type of specimen.

4. Double bag specimens shipped in whirl-pak bags.

5. Add absorbent material to prevent leakage should breakage occur.
