Dear colleagues,
I am having the pleasure to organise a shipment of frozen crystals from Germany to the UK, and the only way to do this seems to send them by FedEx in a dry shipper (Taylor & Wharton CP100). My question is, has anybody (perhaps from Germany?) done this before and give me some advice? According to the people at FedEx, I need somebody who is trained and authorized to fill in and sign a "Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods". This concerns mainly the transport of nitrogen (the crystals are harmless). Does anybody know, for instance, what the UN-No. for nitrogen in a dry shipper is? Is it the same for liquid N2 (UN 1977) and the adsorbed (vapour phase) form? Thanks in advance and best regards, Uli --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DR ULRICH GOHLKE Staff Scientist - Macromolecular Structure and Interaction Max-Delbrück-Centre for Molecular Medicine (MDC) +49 30 9406 - 2725 (w) +49 30 9406 - 2548 (fax) [email protected] http://www.mdc-berlin.de/en/research/research_teams/macromolecular_structure_and_interaction/
