Hiya,
Has anyone had trouble sending or receiving RNA by air recently? We never
used to have problems getting samples to or from collaborators: ship it on
dry ice and as long as it stays frozen, it's fine.
Recently we (and at least one other researcher in the Department) have
been having problems with degradation en route. The samples are good
condition when sent, stay frozen all the way, and yet are almost
completely degraded on arrival. This has happened with flights to America
and Japan.
Have they introduced some new scanning of shipments (X-ray or similar?)
that degrades RNA?
Best wishes,
Peter Ellis
