Since Mutagen Samples are considered a rare drop on Eris while being uncommon on Deimos, it is advised to visit the latter when attempting to farm the resource specifically.

Mutagen Samples had several changes to their drop locations. From Update 8.0 to Update 10.0, they could drop from Eris and Jupiter, which at the time were controlled by the Infested. From Update 10 to Update 14.1, they were limited to Orokin Derelicts (which then became Deimos in Update 29.0), and from Update 14.1 onwards Eris could drop Mutagen Samples once more.
