Sample submission for any of our services can be done directly through our Customer Web Portal. If you would like us to set up a web portal account for you or if you need assistance filling out the forms, please contact Technical Support at 1.800.886.9654 or 1.302.292.8888. Alternatively, you can contact us via email at [email protected]. We are here to help you.

An Identification Request Form (IRF) must be completed in order to process your sample submission and to complete your sample shipping procedure to Charles River Accugenix^® laboratories. The IRF should be completed using our Accugenix^® Customer Web Portal.

The web portal makes sample submissions easy and reduces redundant entries of information over time. Your stored demographic information is automatically populated to save time and increase efficiency. Our portal is compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and offers the highest level of data encryption plus secured login and password credentials to safeguard your confidential information, reports and data.

Be sure to print out the Identification Request Form (IRF) and include a copy with the samples being shipped.
