UCSD Biochemical Genetics Laboratory

General Information:

Laboratory working hours are Monday through Friday, 08:00 to 16:00 PST. As our regular hours do not include weekends or holidays, we request that specimens be shipped routinely Monday-Thursday.

In the event of medical emergency, special shipping arrangements can be made, and we are generally able to perform testing in the fastest possible time, including weekends and holidays.

Use only guaranteed overnight carriers (U.S. Postal Express may take longer and specimens may be ruined).

Please label all specimens with patient's name and date/time of collection, using permanent ink, and place in a resealable plastic bag (gummed labels fall off frozen specimens).
