It depends on what the samples are being used for. Blood can be stored for a couple of days without ill effects (blood banks use special freezers a fraction above 32 degrees to store blood for about a week). Blood samples sent to labs to test for drugs can sit for a couple of weeks without problems because the chemicals they are searching for won't decay much. Blood samples used to detect diseases are usually processed within 48 hours.
