FOR folks not wanting to use GW et als (North America) Triple SSS policy for BSE surveillance,
please see below.
IF you go to page 65 out of 154 of the ;

Surveillance

TAKING QUALITY BSE SAMPLES IN USA
NOTE: The samples in these photos are suitable for ELISA testing and if negative by ELISA
there would not be a problem, but if the results were inconclusive then it would be
difficult to process for IHC and additional testing.
ALSO, PLEASE see pages 119 - 133 for proper sampling collection protocols ;
