laboratory for confirmatory drug testing.
 (2) The approved tester must send the specimen tubes in a way that results in the tubes arriving at the approved laboratory as soon as practicable after the tester places the body sample into the tubes.
Note: Under subregulation 99.170(6), a notice from the approved tester must accompany the samples to the approved laboratory.
 (3) The specimen tubes must be stored prior to transport and transported in such a way that the integrity of the body sample is preserved.

Subdivision 99.C.2.3—Receipt and storage of samples by approved laboratories

99.190  Receipt of samples
 (1) If an approved laboratory receives a body sample divided into Sample A and Sample B for a confirmatory drug test, the laboratory must, as soon as practicable after receiving the specimen tubes:
 (a) inspect each tube for damage; and
 (b) check that the seals on the tubes are intact.
 (2) If a seal on a specimen tube is not intact, or a specimen tube is damaged in such a way that the integrity of the body sample may have been compromised, the laboratory must:
 (a) not test the part of the body sample contained in the tube; and
 (b) discard the contents of the tube.
 (3) If the laboratory discards the contents of both of the specimen tubes, as soon as practicable after the day the laboratory received the tubes, the laboratory must send to CASA a dated, written notice that includes the following information:
 (a) the date and time of receipt of the body sample at the laboratory;
 (b) the sample identifier for the body sample;
 (c) a statement about why both tubes were discarded.
 (4) As soon as practicable after CASA receives the notice from the laboratory, CASA must give a written a notice to the donor that includes the following:
 (a) the sample identifier for the body sample;
 (b) a statement:
 (i) that neither Sample A nor Sample B could be tested because the integrity of the body samples had been compromised; and
 (ii) that both Sample A and Sample B were discarded by the laboratory.

99.195  Storage of samples

If neither Sample A nor Sample B is discarded
 (1) Subregulations (2), (3) and (4) apply if:
 (a) an approved laboratory receives a body sample for a confirmatory drug test that is divided into Sample A and Sample B; and
 (b) neither Sample A nor Sample B is discarded under subregulation 99.190(2) or (3).
 (2) Sample A and Sample B must be stored in a secured refrigeration unit until Sample A is tested.
 (3) If the test result for the confirmatory drug test on Sample A is a positive result, Sample B must be:
 (a) stored in a secure
