CPC Pathology offers tips for hot weather specimen warning! Please maintain specimens indoors for as long as possible. Specimens not preserved in formalin and placed in an outside lock box until pickup should be packaged with frozen freezer packs and put in the box at the end of the day, protected in a thermal pouch. If the CPC lock box is located in direct sunlight, please try to move to a location in the shade. Call CPC (847) 996-1030 to request the thermal pouches for protecting temperature sensitive specimens.
