The specimen that has to be transported has to be handled with care. There are several companies available all around the globe that deals with specimen shipping. Many instructions have to be followed to ship the specimens intact to the delivery location. The specimens that have to be transported are packed in air tight containers that are leak proof. The containers are then placed in a cooler box which is tight, if not it has to be secured with additional packing material in order to prevent breakage.
Extra dry ice can also be packed with the samples so that it would last even if the shipping gets delayed. The cooler box should not be sealed with tape since it would prevent the passing of gas from the dry ice. All the paperwork that goes along with the specimen should be kept in plastic bags so that they remain secure. The whole box should be secured with plastic tapes along with the shipper and the consignor details on the box. The cold chain management firms would be experienced in handling such shipments. The samples that are stored by aliquoting can also be transported using this method. "
