Biological samples must be shipped under appropriate conditions to maintain their integrity and ensure reliable analysis results.
MATERIAL TYPE2 types
RNAis a biological material highly susceptible to degradation, so special precautions are required during transport. Ship only on dry ice (minimum 5kg).
DNAis more stable than RNA, allowing greater flexibility in selecting transport conditions.
Available shipping conditions:
01On dry ice - recommended for maximum safety and particularly valuable samples.
02With cooling packs
03At room temperature - acceptable when the outside temperature does not exceed 18°C degrees.
Samples for RNA / DNA extraction - particular care is required in this case because the transport temperature can affect the tissue / material and therefore the genetic material. For most experiments, we recommend freezing the tissue in liquid nitrogen and shipping the samples on dry ice. However, some cases require a different approach and the final decision rests with the client.
Detailed sample collection and transport conditions are provided for water, blood, cells and pellets.
