Step 1
Choose the proper size shipping box and styrofoam cooler for the amount and size of samples being sent.
Step 2
Place a cool pack in the bottom of the styrofoam cooler to keep the sample(s) properly preserved.
Step 3
Place the sample in the whirl-pak. Squeeze out as much air as possible. Fold the top down in a rolling fashion. Fold the tabs over to seal the whirl-pak.
Step 4
Place the whirl-pak in biohazard bag and seal closed. *Be sure to follow DOT requirements when shipping biohazard materials. View TVMDL’s Shipping page for more information.
Step 5
Place the biohazard bag directly on the cool pack in the styrofoam cooler.
Step 6
Use crumpled paper to fill the void in the styrofoam box to avoid the sample from moving around.
