Storage of Liquid Samples and Extracts7.1 Label all vials containing

24、 samples or extracts accordingto Guide E1459. Notations regarding any sample or extractpreservation should be maintained in the case notes and inaccordance with laboratory procedures.7.1.1 Preserved samples and extracts may be released/returned with the evidence as an attachment or enclosure.7.1.2 A

25、lternatively, preserved samples and extracts may becataloged and stored.7.2 Preserved samples and extracts may be stored in con-tainers as noted in 5.1. Chemical compatibility, vapor pressure,contamination, mechanical strength, and storage conditions areamong the considerations in selection of stora

26、ge containers.7.3 Preserved samples and extracts may be stored at roomtemperature, under refrigeration, or frozen. Effects of tempera-ture and freeze-thaw conditions on the stability and viability ofsamples, effectiveness of container sealing, and containerintegrity are factors to consider in select

27、ion of thermal storageconditions.7.4 If not returned with the evidence, store preservedsamples and extracts at the laboratory for a period of time asdirected by laboratory policy and federal, state, or local laws.Follow the procedures set forth in Practice E1492 to ensure thatthe chain of custody is
