CHLA SAMPLE TRANSPORTATION GUIDELINES


As of 01/25/10 CHLA has implemented new guidelines for transportation of non-hazardous samples to the DNA Core Facility using the CHLA-USC/HSC shuttle.

First all samples must be enclosed in a sealed medium (vial, tube, or 96-well plate).
Secondly these samples must be placed in hard container such as styrofoam that is watertight/leakproof and then properly sealed with tape. 

All packages must be labeled properly with the sender name, PI, lab address, and contact phone, also include DNA Core address. Container must also be labeled as "Non-Hazardous". 
There will be sign-in log when dropping off package at the valet.  Please make sure to confirm that you have not missed the last shuttle going to USC/HSC.
