Often times uncertainty about if a sample has been received by the lab can weigh heavy on a submitter's mind.

One way to gain certainty is by creating a barcode label for your shipping box(es).

*Make sure that barcodes are affixed to the top right corner of the outside of the shipping container.

**If you are shipping multiple containers, please use 1 bar code for each in case containers get separated during transport.

  1. Log into PALS.
  2. Hover over "Utilities," then select "Create Barcodes for my shipments." 
  3. Complete all pertinent information.

  1. Once information is entered, your shipping label will be created, and you can print it. It can be printed on a sticker or a full page of paper.
  2. Detach the section that indicates, "Retain this portion for your records," and then attach the shipping label to the outside of the shipper. 

 

When received at the lab:

Upon arrival at the lab:

  1. Receiving staff will scan in the bar code.
  2. You will receive an email letting you know that we received your sample(s).
