Transport and Shipping

FedEx Truck

Many times researchers are required to ship their research materials via a commercial shipping company (i.e. FedEx, UPS etc.). Materials may be regulated, either as infectious substances, category A or B or as genetically modified organisms. To ship diagnostic specimens, infectious substances, genetically modified organisms or to ship any of your biological materials on dry ice, you must have the proper training.

For more information about shipping and receiving training or assistance please go to the training section of our website and review the modules on shipping.
