Collection and Packaging Guides

Courier services and specimen delivery

Please contact the relevant Customer Service team for courier account details and to order consignment notes, or if the provided courier services are not suitable for your needs. Couriers can then be contacted directly to make bookings and arrange collection of packages. Please contact Customer Service to arrange after-hours or same day deliveries.

Commercial couriers may use either road or air transport and specimens should therefore be packed in accordance with International Air Transport Association (IATA) requirements. Most submission sent by veterinarians to the Animal & Plant Health Laboratories for testing are defined as “Biological Substance Category B” and must be packed according to the IATA packing instructions 650 (Biological Substance Category B). As requirements for transport can change, customers should consult with their transport agent to obtain current requirements.

Samples may also be hand delivered to the site during normal business hours.
