Biological evidence should be dried before packaging to minimize sample degradation. Packaging in paper is preferred; however, some laboratories allow packaging in plastic if the sample is thoroughly dried.

Liquid samples, such as water from a toilet bowl or pipes, should be properly documented and packaged in sterile glass or plastic containers and refrigerated as soon as possible.
