EXAKT Technologies: Cold D-Pak for transport stock# MD8702V06; Frozen d-Pak for transport stock # MD8703V06
With current regulations on labeling and shipping of diagnostic material if you need to ship on ice or dry ice the above company has pre-labeled containers with all the federal requirements, etc as well as all the required packaging for the specimen and documents. We have to take training every year and it was explained to us that if something leaks all the powers that be out there go after the person who has their name on the shipping label (also whoever packs it has to be the one to do the label with their name). Blocks with a cold pack is a good idea during warm days. After such a mild winter I bet summer will be interesting. Also recently I was trying to find something to put a block in to mail and I had been putting them in a side loaded 5 slide container but could only get one in each one (but they cost $$$). I had been coverslipping and looked down at the empty coverslip container, VIOLA! Take the packaging out and you can get 2-3 blocks in there and they won't get squashed in the shipment and the container is free. Lisa White, HT(ASCP) Supervisory HT James H.
