Hi all,

We are shipping some cryoEM grids from Vancouver, Canada to Virginia, 
USA using a dry shipper. The grids were frozen and stored in liquid 
nitrogen, and will be transfered in a LN2-filled falcon tube to a 
pre-cooled dry-shipper after it has been emptied, immediately prior to 
shipping. Is this the best way to ship frozen grids? Does anyone have 
any suggestions for how to get this shipment though customs?

Regards,
Lisa Craig
