[Histonet] Will dry ice damage paraffin blocks?

[Lucie Guernsey]

Hi Histonet,

I need to ship some paraffin blocks and frozen tissue internationally to
the same location. My instinct tells me that I need to ship the paraffin
separately (at room temperature) from the dry ice package. But, now I'm
wondering if that's really necessary.

Should I ship 2 packages or can I place a layer of paper towels or
something in between the dry ice and paraffin blocks?

Thanks,
Lucie
