Field Guide – Shipping, Report Delivery, and Billing

  • Once You've Collected Your Samples

After collecting your samples, ship them back to Sporecyte for analysis. The process is simple:

  • 1 Complete the Chain of Custody form, making sure the form matches the information on the samples.
  • 2 Affix the FedEx Shipping Label to a FedEx Pak.
  • 3 Place all materials in the FedEx Pak. Include in the Pak:
  • The Chain of Custody form
  • Indoor air sample(s) taken
  • Outdoor air sample(s)
  • Surface sample(s) taken
  • 4 Close the FedEx Pak securely.
  • 5 Drop the FedEx Pak at any FedEx drop-off location.*

*Check the pickup time at the FedEx drop-off location to avoid missing the last pickup time of the day and delaying delivery.

Be sure to include an outdoor air sample in the shipment. This will help Sporecyte interpret the results of the Air & Surface testing. If an outdoor air sample is not included, Sporecyte will not be able to issue a report for your job.
