Sample Submission
The Indiana State Department of Toxicology (ISDT) has installed a drop box so that agencies may hand deliver blood/urine evidence kits to ISDT. This system provides a secure alternative to mailing the evidence kits. The drop box is located in the receiving area of the loading dock at the Forensic and Health Sciences building at 550 West 16th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. Drop off hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday through Friday, except State holidays. Toxicology kits deposited in the drop box will be removed twice daily by ISDT staff. This drop box is for ISDT evidence ONLY.
ISDT will begin a chain of custody indicating the kits were received from the drop box and will continue a chain of custody while the evidence remains in the custody of ISDT. A date/time stamp is available at the drop box site if you wish to record the delivery of the evidence kit to the drop box on your copy of your chain of custody.
For agencies who do not wish to use a traceable mail service, this procedure provides a convenient way to submit toxicology kits. Agencies may also mail evidence kits to: Indiana State Department of Toxicology, Suite A, 550 West 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202.
Agencies may order new blood/urine evidence kits via email by going to toxkits@isdt.in.gov. ISDT will ship kits to the requesting agency or you may pick them up at our loading dock the next business day. A request for kits must include the following information:
Name and address of requesting agency
Name, email address, and telephone number of a contact person
Number of kits requested
Whether kits should be shipped or prepared for pick-up
