KIT ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS
BEFORE PACKING THE BLOOD SPECIMENS: Immediately FREEZE only TWO (2) of the gel packs overnight (must be frozen solid to use). If outside daytime temperatures exceed 40 degrees Fahrenheit: REFRIGERATE the remaining TWO (2) gel packs overnight OR If outside daytime temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit: allow the remaining TWO (2) gel packs to reach room temperature (68-70 degrees Fahrenheit) Keep blood specimens refrigerated. DO NOT COMPLETE PACKING (see below) UNTIL JUST BEFORE SHIPPING
WHEN READY TO SHIP: STEP 1: Put the vials with the blood samples into the absorbent-lined shipping containers (see picture above). Depending on the outside temp (see notes above these pictures), place 1 REFRIGERATED or ROOM TEMP gel pack in the small 6 x 5 x 4 vial carton (see picture below).	STEP 2: Put the absorbent-lined containers on top of the REFRIGERATED or ROOM TEMP gel pack.	STEP 3: Place the remaining REFRIGERATED or ROOM TEMP gel pack on top. The vials should now be sandwiched between the two REFRIGERATED or ROOM TEMP gel packs.
STEP 4: Place a FROZEN gel pack in the bottom of the #TK8 insulated shipper.	STEP 5: Put the closed small vial carton on top of the FROZEN gel pack.	STEP 6: Place the remaining FROZEN gel pack on top.
STEP 7: Fill any remaining space inside the insulated shipper with the bubble wrap.	STEP 8: Seal the shipper with tape. Attach the packing slip, with your documentation in it, to the outside of the carton or inside the flaps (do NOT pack documents inside the insulated portion of the shipper). If outside temperatures exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the packed kit should be placed in the refrigerator until time to ship. DO NOT PLACE THE PACKED KIT IN THE FREEZER.
