1) Collect enough hair. If no head
hair, collect body hair. When collecting head hair
get enough
strands to fill the diameter of a
soda straw!
2) With shaved/short hair, locate
longest hair possible and make multiple cuts from
different
locations to produce sufficient
amount of hair needed.
3) DO NOT MIX head hair and body
hair together - ONLY COLLECT ONE OR THE OTHER.
4) YOU MUST state on the Chain of
Custody Form (STEP 2) if sample is head or body
hair.
5) The donor MUST initial the seal
(on the Hair Specimen Pouch) and sign the #2
(Medical
Review Officer) copy of the Chain of
Custody Form
