Posted By David Mains Mark, Legislation - Coshh would certainly apply. Specimens should be packaged and secured in a rigid ,leak proof transport container. The container should contain instruction on what to do in the event of a spillage. This should include a contact number for advice.

Posted By David Thomas Mark suggest you use a courier who is certified and competant to carry the items you describe. I am contacting you direct with the name of such a company (which I have no direct or indirect dealings with) regards
