*Oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs must be collected in labelled tubes with viral transport medium, which can be collected from CVRL. ** Serum - separated from blood taken in a plain tube. *** EDTA blood samples from abroad: Provide air-dried, fresh blood smear slides (a minimum of two slides per animal, individually wrapped in tissue paper) in a water-resistant plastic bag.  Alternatively, slides can be sent in a plastic slide mailer along with EDTA blood. This is to assure the accuracy of the test results as the quality of EDTA blood may deteriorate during long shipping cycles.

Transportation:

Samples should be properly labelled and inserted in a leak-proof bag and then placed in a polystyrene (Styrofoam) box or a container (along with cool elements that are pre-frozen), which can withstand long shipment cycles.

To avoid delays at Dubai Airport/Customs, be sure to attach our import permit to the parcel. The CVRL import permit can also be downloaded from our website and the link is http://www.cvrl.ae/cvrl-pdf/imp_permit.pdf  It is very important to attach a copy of our import permit both inside and outside the parcel, as this will ensure a smooth flow at Dubai airport.  As we do not have a clearing department or personnel for that purpose, it is recommended to send the samples through FedEx or DHL, who will deliver them to our office.
