Generated guidance. Confirm the source and its applicability before you act. How we check sources.
According to 49 CFR 40.45, you must use a shipping container that adequately protects the urine specimen bottles from damage while they are being transported from the collection site to the laboratory.
However, there is one exception: you are not required to use a shipping container if a laboratory courier hand-delivers the specimens directly from the collection site to the laboratory.
