Labcorp understands the challenges of collecting specimens in nonclinical environments and has validated the stability and methodology of using plasma tubes in Lab-in-a-Box and a dried blood spot collection card in Lab-in-an-Envelope to make field collections of laboratory specimens possible.
Lab-in-a-Box
Lab-in-a-Box is an all inclusive venipuncture collection kit and transport system to simplify specimen handling by using stable anticoagulated blood specimens.
Lab-in-an-Envelope
Lab-in-an-Envelope is an all inclusive fingerstick collection kit and transport system when phlebotomy is not an option.

Lab-in-an-Envelope
Lab-in-an-Envelope is an all-inclusive fingerstick collection kit and transport system when phlebotomy is not an option. Lab-in-an-Envelope uses dried blood spot specimens, a method widely used for screening since the early 1960s. The Lab-in-an-Envelope program can extend select health screening tests to remote or widely dispersed populations who may have little or no convenient access to phlebotomy.
Each Lab-in-an-Envelope kit contains all the items required to collect, prepare, and mail dried blood specimens to the laboratory via US mail.
