Dear Johanna,
FedEx worked fine for us. It might be a good idea to be ready to call the customs as
soon as you notice that your shipment is waiting there longer than expected.
Best,
Vladan

Dear Johanna,
The company World Courier has shipped samples for us. Not cheap but reliably
dlivering precious samples (EM-cryo grids) kept at the correct temperature. All through
customs that in some countries means long waiting times before further transport.

*Ämne:* [3dem] Transport of frozen cryo-EM samples
Dear EM colleagues,
I wonder if anyone has experiences with transporting cryo-EM grids, so that the plunge
freezing takes place at a different location from imaging? If you have done this to
positive effect, can you please give me some information on the equipment that you
used and how long you transported the samples (in time)? Tips and tricks? Is it even
possible to FedEx?
Many thanks in advance,
Johanna
