Hallo all,
The Biohazard Cryogenic Shipper EW-44300-22 looks really interesting. I
will contact cole-parmer. The problem might be that the shipper is
discontinued and the shipping time might be too long...
Thank you very much for your support,
Georg

*Subject:* [ccp4bb] transport of fully functional virus crystals
Dear Community,
I have to face the problem that I have to transport fully functional
and infectious virus crystals (frozen) to a synchrotron. The virus has
biosafety classification 2 (HSE group 2) and therefore transport by
e.g. Fedex has to fullfill the packing instruction 650, better 602
according to IATA
(http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dangerous_goods/Documents/DGR52_PI650_EN.pdf).
As far as I have seen by my google search all the dry shippers do not
fulfill these criteria.
Therefore my questions are:
1.) Has someone of you have had the same problem and found a solution?
2.) How have you done the transport?
3.) Is there a dry shipper available which fulfills the requirements
for packing instruction 650?
Any comment is welcome. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Cheers,
Georg
