[3dem] X-ray of cryoEM dry shipper

[Benjamin Apker]

Hi Kelly,

I've not heard of any negative impacts on samples from the screening done
for air freight.

We have a large number of users routinely shipping their grids both
domestically and internationally utilizing the MiTeGen Cryo-EM Puck System
<https://www.mitegen.com/product/mitegen-cryo-em-pucks-generation-2-0/?utm_source=3dem&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=CEMPUCKS>
and standard CX100 Dryshippers
<https://www.mitegen.com/product/cryo-storage-refrigerators-cx-cxr-series/?utm_source=3dem&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=CX100>
.

For logistics and customs, we will sometimes work with a freight forwarding
company to make  things easier. Many often specialize in dealing with
particular countries customs and tend to be more responsive than common
carriers.

The facility you are shipping to might have recommendations as well.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,
Ben
