General Shipping Guidelines
1. Seal the Eppendorf tubes containing cells or tissues with Parafilm.
2. Put the Eppendorf tubes into 50 mL conical tubes. Then pack the
50 mL tube with Kimwipes to prevent the Eppendorfs from being crushed
or jostled.
3. For samples shipped on dry ice, use PLENTY of dry ice. Shipping
may take 2-3 days, even though you request overnight delivery. Please
pack more dry ice during the summer months.
4. Be very thorough when filling out the shipping forms. Incomplete
information may lead to the package being returned to you.
5. Fill out the appropriate order
form. The completed form can be included in the package, or
faxed or emailed to us.
