Ensure the integrity of your samples with these best practices for collection, fixation, storage, and shipment to DTR Labs. Follow recommended fixation times to prevent degradation and staining artifacts, and store and ship samples under the appropriate conditions—FFPE at room temperature, frozen samples on dry ice, and CNS tissues in PBS at 4°C.

Minimize artifacts and preserve sample quality by adhering to necropsy best practices, proper orientation, and clear labeling. For bone histology, use the right decalcification method to maintain tissue integrity. Secure your shipments with proper packaging, labeling, and documentation to avoid delays or damage.
