WHEN exactly, should I ship my specimens?

When To Ship

For best results, shipping would occur on any day the labs are open to receive samples.

Do NOT ship samples on Friday, because they will sit over the weekend, which threatens the viability of the specimen, and therefore the viability of the results.

We repeat: Do NOT ship cold samples on Friday, because they will sit over the weekend, which threatens the viability of the specimen, and therefore the viability of the results.

We repeat for emphasis: Do NOT ship fresh tissue samples or live fish samples on Friday, because they will sit over the weekend, which threatens the viability of the specimen, and therefore the viability of the results.

In general, then, it would be advised that you would send the samples Monday for Tuesday delivery, Tuesday for Wednesday, Thursday for Friday or if you want, Friday for Saturday delivery; but that's extra from the shipper.

You definitely MUST call 706 247 6274 to make sure that the samples will be intercepted by the tech.
