- Samples can be sent free of charge on Tuesday mornings from the CAF.
- They are sent back to Charles River with the driver who is delivering animals. The samples need to be to the CAF no later than 9:00 a.m. on any given Tuesday.
- They samples need to be in dry ice and we need to know the weight of the dry ice.
