Storage of samples Clause Samples

Storage of samples. Use alkaline Lugol’s solution (using sodium acetate buffer) or acid Lugol’s (which allowed better sedimentation of buoyant cyanobacteria) as a preservative to reach a final concentration of about 0.5% in the sample, i.e. about 8 drops per 100 ml (or 2.5 ml for a 500 ml flask). The final concentration should give the sample a light brown/orange colour (whisky). Depending on the type of sample, reaching the colour can take a higher number of drops – in acid waters for instance. For WISER counting, the Lugol preserved samples should be stored in darkness. For longer- term storage other storage protocols may be necessary.

Storage of samples. You may need to store the bagged sample(s) for a short length of time before they are sent to the laboratory. You must avoid any possibility of the sample being contaminated by storing them away from other produce, pesticides, rubber products and any other source of contamination. Samples must be transported in accordance with these instructions: • The sample bag must be numbered, with the corresponding number from the sample information sheet (SIS1). • The form should be placed in a plastic bag within the sample bag. • Samples of loose produce must be put in clean polythene bags; bags must be tied securely, and stored separately from each other. • The bags or boxes of samples should then be packed in very strong (double- walled), clean, un-used cardboard boxes, sealed and securely labelled. • The packages of individual samples must be protected from damage in transit e.g. by plenty of bubble polythene or polystyrene chips, and packed so as to ensure that the samples are not in contact with each other. This is particularly important as your consignments contain fruit. • The sample must be delivered to the laboratory as soon as practicable. Pesticide residues can degrade rapidly and samples should be delivered by rapid carrier (recorded courier service is preferable), to arrive at the relevant laboratory on the day after sampling. • Contamination and deterioration of samples must be prevented at all stages, because they may affect the analytical results. • Spoilage in transit must be avoided; therefore the samples should be kept cool but without generating excessive condensation within the bag (i.e. the samples should not be too hot or too cold). • Boxes must be packed carefully with the lighter samples at the top and the heavier samples at the bottom. Clearly label the box to ensure that they are kept the right way up in transit. Ensure boxes are clearly labelled with the name and address of the laboratory.

Storage of samples. Samples must be stored for periods of time that reflect the status of the samples and under conditions that maximise the stability of any drugs or their metabolites contained in the sample. Sample storage must be secure and full Chain of Custody procedures maintained at all times. Please provide full details of your protocols for sample storage and how they meets the specification requirements.

Storage of samples. Samples must be stored for periods of time that reflect the status of the samples and under conditions that maximise the stability of any drugs or their metabolites contained in the sample. Sample storage must be secure and full Chain of Custody procedures maintained at all times. Sample storage will remain on the site of the analytical provider at a single location. The integrity of the ‘B’ sample must be guaranteed. The following parameters will apply: samples awaiting processing must be stored appropriately; samples that test negative may be disposed of after one month; samples that screen positive for drugs or fail various checks must be stored for a period of 9 months from the date of analysis, dependent on confirmation test results where conducted; samples that screen positive must be stored under conditions that maximise the potential to confirm the screening test result; samples that screen positive but are negative at confirmation must be retained for a period of two months; upon completion of confirmation tests positive samples must be stored, frozen, for not less than 9 months from the date of the confirmation test; the ‘A’ and ‘B’ samples must be subject throughout to identical storage conditions in order to ensure parity; storage capacity will be sufficient to cope with a throughput per annum of around 100,0004 samples; and no sample analysis other than outlined in this specification may be undertaken without the express approval of the Authority. Please provide details of your protocols for sample storage.

Storage of samples. Samples should be stored in individual closed containers to avoid contamination. For small samples typically used in laboratories, chemistry and biology laboratory equipment distributors offer a wide range of boxes suitable to our application. For larger sized samples, logistics boxes such as the euro boxes can be used, but their cleanness should be checked, notably their dust content which could contaminate the samples. When cleaning with liquid such as alcohol or soap, proper drying and removal of residues should be applied to avoid contamination. In some extreme case, the following cleaning procedure may be applied: 1. Cleaning with soap agents to remove grease residues. 2. Rinsing with distilled water to remove the soap agent. 3. Cleaning with high volatility alcohol such as iso-­‐propanol.

Storage of samples. CCLS shall not destroy any Samples without giving prior written notice to Sponsor and giving Sponsor a reasonable opportunity to provide directions for the Samples to be sent to a different location for storage. If Sponsor does not respond to CCLS’s request for Sample disposition within thirty (30) days, CCLS may return such Samples to Sponsor at Sponsor’s cost. CCLS’s liability for any breach or default for the storage of Samples shall not exceed the fees it has been paid for storage of such Samples for the previous twelve (12) months.

Storage of samples. Samples sent to and stored by or on behalf of CRTX during the Term will be stored in accordance with, and will conform to the storage conditions of the Samples, cGMPs, other applicable FDA and other regulatory standards and such quality assurance practices as are standard, as well as other Applicable Laws. Upon request of ▇▇▇, CRTX shall permit duly authorized representatives of ▇▇▇ or its third party designees, [**] every calendar year (or more frequently if an audit reveals significant concerns from the perspective of ▇▇▇, acting reasonably, that require appropriate additional audit follow-up) during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior written notice, and in any event on not less than [**] days notice, to audit CRTX's warehouse facility. ▇▇▇ shall provide CRTX with the approved storage conditions for the Samples.
