Service Change Bulletin Sample Disposal

Effective March 1, 2020, we are changing our sample retention policy.

The policy that has been in place provided for sample retention of 60 days from date of receipt of sample(s).

The new policy reduces the sample retention period from 60 days down to 40 days from receipt of sample(s) at the laboratory.

With this change in policy, unused portions of samples will be discarded 40 days after sample receipt at the laboratory, unless requested otherwise.

To request an alternate sample retention period, please contact your Account Coordinator at 734.462.3900.
