A specimen should be packed in materials that prevent its container from being damaged during shipment. Specimen tubes should be labeled with patient name and date of birth. Unlableled specimen tubes will be rejected by Amsterdam GenomeDx. DNA and buccal swabs specimens can be sent through the regular postal mail. Blood can also be sent through regular mail, provided that the shipment does not take longer than 4-5 days. Prenatal specimens should be shipped to us using an express delivery service.  All specimens should be shipped to us with a completed requisition form.
