1. Upon completion of analyses by the laboratory whereby it is established that any article subject to the provisions of the Act is adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise subject to the prohibitions of the Act, a sufficient amount of the sample (if any remains) shall be reserved as an exhibit in the trial of any case that may arise under the Act based on the sample. Upon written request, if any person named on the label of the article found adulterated, misbranded, or otherwise subject to the prohibitions of the Act, or owner thereof, or the attorney or agent of such person or owner shall be provided with a part of the sample for their analysis, if any remains, subject to the reservations above, except when:

When two or more requests for parts of the sample are received, the requests shall be complied with in the order in which they were received so long as any part of the sample remains available therefore.
