As the embryos have no commercial value and are solely for research purposes, we would appreciate if you could provide us with your FedEx account number for shipment of the requested embryos.

The embryos are bleached before shipping and store in tissue culture flasks with autoclaved egg water (methylene blue added). The flasks are not filled entirely with water to allow for air space.

The tissue culture flasks containing the embryos are packed in styrofoam box with a styrofoam lid. The Styrofoam package is then placed inside a cardboard box. Shipping labels are paste on the box prior to sending.

The series of pictures below are examples of how the embryos should be packed prior to shipping. The photos are taken from ZFIN (http://zfin.org/zf_info/zfbook/chapt1/1.7.html).
