Final Check & Sample Turn-In

Complete these steps after labeling your tubes or plate.

Before You Pack

  • Confirm every label matches the printed sample sheet.
  • Protect tubes or plates inside a secondary container.
  • Place each order in its own bag with its barcode sheet visible.
  • Cover old labels and use a padded mailer or box.

Turn In Samples

Use an available CVENTBIO Dropbox or ship at room temperature. Multiple orders may share one parcel when each has its own bag and sample sheet.
