The packaging and shipment of biospecimens is a multistep process for which a distinct set of regulations needs to be followed, depending on whether a biospecimen is shipped domestically or internationally and whether the shipment contains hazardous materials. Shipments may be delayed if these regulations are not followed. Once learned, the process is straightforward. Major principles include double or triple packaging, adequate absorbent material, appropriate coolant, accurate labeling, and complete documentation. Training in packaging and shipping is often offered at major biomedical institutions and is a requirement to avoid shipping biohazards.
生物样本的包装和运输是一个多步骤过程，根据生物样本是在国内还是国际运输以及运输货物是否包含危险材料，需要遵循一套不同的规定。如果不遵守这些规定，运输可能会延迟。一旦学会，这个过程很简单。主要原则包括双层或三层包装、足够的吸水材料、合适的冷却剂、准确的标签和完整的文件。主要生物医学机构通常会提供包装和运输方面的培训，这是避免运输生物危害的一项要求。
