[Histonet] MAILING BIOPSIES

[Bernice Frederick]

Sarah,
The IATA (International air transport association) has all the rules for
shipping and receiving. of biological substances (UN3373). We have to be
certified every year as we are a biorepository and ship and receive from all
over the world. We get blocks, slides serum, plasma, whole blood and
extracted DNA ,so we have to know what to do with it.
