GTAC@MGI Sample Shipping Instructions

Prior to shipping your samples, please complete your Service Request here. Please include a copy of the Service Request in the shipment. Submissions being paid by an external source require a purchase order document be provided before we begin processing, please include a copy with the shipment or email to the relevant person below.

Ship overnight, following all state and federal regulations for shipping dry ice, in an insulated container with sufficient dry ice to ensure the sample remains frozen throughout shipment to the following addresses outlined below.

We recommend using a specialized overnight courier such as FedEx, DHL, UPS, or World Courier. We do not recommend using the United States Postal Service (USPS) for your shipment. Samples, especially those shipped overnight, will be delayed when using USPS due to the internal mail system at Washington University.
