Dear Karim, You may need to transfer the samples to other preservative allowed for airlines and express couriers, lets say lysis buffer. Please see the following publication for the protocol to make lysis buffer (http://www.nsrl.ttu.edu/publications/opapers/ops/OP163.pdf). You or somebody else can prepare it for you at any research lab. You do not need any sophisticated chemical. Probably, faculty in chemistry or biology at Universidad de San Marcos in Lima can help you. If you need any further help do not hesitate in contact me. Best, Miguel

Part of the samples are stored in 30ml bottle of alcohol. The collection and transportation of the samples comply with all the government regulations, however, shipping agencies (like DHL, FEDEX, others) do not accept to transport the part of the samples that are stored in alcohol. If some of you know of shipping agencies authorized to transport these type of samples either by plane or ship, I would appreciate to respond to this email. Thanks very much for your time.
