Please note that the applicable regulations for the transport of hazardous substances and objects must be complied with when sending samples:

  • Law on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (GGBefG),
  • "Dangerous Goods Ordinance for Road, Rail and Inland Navigation" (GGVSEB)
  • "European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road" (ADR)

In order to protect employees from potentially infectious material (e.g. blood), shipments should be made in secondary packaging with absorbent material in suitable outer packaging (e.g. cardboard boxes or padded envelopes), which are classified according to UN3373 (external).

Interfering factors that are known to significantly impair the analytical performance of the analysis or the evaluation of the results:

  • Incorrect sample material (for the requested analysis)
  • Poor quality of the sample
  • Contamination of the test material by material from other persons
  • Missing or insufficient documentation on the request form
  • Missing signature of the doctor
  • Missing consent of the patient
  • Incorrect indication of family relationships
  • Incorrect information on stem cell transplantation
  • Sample mix-ups
