Kit Components:

• UN 4GU outer ship box
• Secondary sample containers(s) to accommodate up to 8 specimens per container

Packing and Shipping

Instructions for packing and shipping are included with the MapIt Transport Kit. The transport of biological and/or infectious substances is regulated to minimize risk and ensure safety to all persons involved in the transportation chain. It is the shipper’s legal responsibility to ensure that specimens are packed and transported according to DOT and IATA rules and regulations. Some carriers may not accept infectious substances, or dangerous goods, so be sure to check with your carrier for acceptable transport specifics. Please contact Customer Support if you have any questions regarding classification of microbes as “biological’ or ‘infectious substances’, questions on importation of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances or other transportation inquiries.
