Urgent call for help.

 

I have one of our pathologists with me at the moment, about to perform a pm on a suspected Addisonian crisis death. He obviously would like to take samples for cortisone. I remember vitreous humour is best sample but does anyone know where I can get the sample analysed and what sample type they would prefer
