Agencies may request toxicological blood evidence kits by completing the online form above. ISDT will either prepare them for pick-up at the dock area of the Forensic and Health Sciences Laboratories, 550 West 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202 or ship kits, as requested.
ISDT blood collection kits contain two gray top vacutainer tubes containing sodium fluoride (preservative) and potassium oxalate (anticoagulant), protective packaging, seals, labels, absorbent pad, instructions for use, and a Toxicology Analysis Request Form.
To facilitate use and ensure availability, ISDT suggests that evidence collection kits be stored at facilities where blood is drawn, such as hospitals and jails.
ISDT does not charge for toxicological blood evidence kits but requests the unused sealed expired kits with the box free of any writing or postage be returned to ISDT.
Expired kits may be used. It is recommended to replace the gray top tubes with unexpired 10 mL glass gray top tubes.
