Generated guidance. Confirm the source and its applicability before you act. How we check sources.
Based on 49 CFR 40.51, to send oral fluid specimens from the collection site to the laboratory, you must use a shipping container that adequately protects the specimen bottles from damage during transport.
However, under 49 CFR 40.51, 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.
