Need a new vial and/or container? Has your vial expired, leaked, or did you already collect your sample but cannot ship it on the same day?

Updated over 4 months ago

There are various reasons as to why you may need a new vial of preservation solution or a new specimen container.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Your vial has expired before you were able to collect your sample.

๐Ÿ‘‰ You used both items to collect your sample and were unable to ship your kit back the same day.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Your sample was collected on a day where either Fellow and/or UPS was inoperable/closed for business, and werenโ€™t able to ship back your kit the same day.

๐Ÿ‘‰Your vial has leaked/spilt and all the preservation solution is no longer contained in your vial.

๐Ÿ‘‰You notice there is an issue/defect with your collection container.
