24-hour delivery station

Blue Analytics has a 24-hour delivery station for sample reception outside the laboratory in Bergen. There you can deliver samples for PCR and DNA analysis at any time of the day or night. The samples are stored in a cool place and the analyses can start the next morning.

How does the delivery station work?

The box with sample tubes (Matrix box or equivalent) is placed in the delivery station, which is labelled “Prøvemottak Blue Analytics”.

From the delivery point, there is a connection to a refrigeration unit where the samples are stored properly (2-8°C). In order to open the door to the delivery station, you need a code that you get from Blue Analytics. See the image below showing the location of the delivery station on the building (the address of the building can be found here).

Remember to label the boxes clearly with the reference number and number of boxes (x out of a total of y boxes). An order form with reference number and number of boxes is delivered together with the samples, packed in a separate plastic bag. You can find the order form here.
