• 10:09
  Speaker 1: ethanol retention, blood, body fluids, tissues, organs, partial portions of
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: routinely or under some circumstances, whole and physical trace material collected.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: The same samples vary by case as needed for diagnostic
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: or evidentiary purposes, and by availability during the examination or
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: routinely held for a period of time after release of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the body, and will undergo biohazard disposal unless transferred to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a laboratory or other agency, or otherwise released by special arrangement.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for the
