Small molecule bioanalysis sample collection & shipping
Comprehensive information on procedures for sample collection, detailed instructions on the packaging and shipping process, and additional details for small molecule bioanalysis.
Sample Requirements
Samples must consist of the same matrix that was tested in the Method Feasibility or Method Optimization study. The accepted sample types include: plasma, serum, urine, and tissue homogenates.
Collection Instructions
Generally, the sample size should be 150-500 µL. Please consult your Method Feasibility or Method Optimization study report for more details.
Sample Storage
Samples should be kept frozen (≤-20°C) to maintain sample integrity. Do not thaw.
Shipping
Ship samples on dry ice to keep frozen and maintain sample integrity.
Please ship samples to IDEXX BioAnalytics North Grafton, MA lab.
Turnaround Time
Additional Information
Please provide the analyte and its internal standard (≥10 mg) for the standard and quality control manufacture.
Biological matrices can be provided for certain species (plasma, serum, urine); others may incur an additional fee.
A redacted report sample is available upon request.
