WADDL: Shipping solutions!

By Dr. Claire Burbick, Director of Operations, WA Animal Disease Diagnostics Laboratory

WADDL now offers shipping solutions! The 11 x 9 x 10-inch insulated foam shippers are ideal for keeping diagnostic specimens at appropriate temperatures to ensure the integrity of the specimen throughout the shipping process. Each shipper contains packing materials needed to help reduce leaks and prevent accidental breakage during transit including:

  • 1 small biohazard bag (secondary container)
  • 1 larger secondary bag
  • 2 absorbent pads
  • 1 piece of bubble wrap
  • 1 piece of tape

WAADL also offers an insulated shipper, containing the same materials as the standard insulated shipper, with 10 red top tubes. Red top tubes can be used for various WADDL tests including serologic testing, bacterial culture, and parasitology.

Importantly, WADDL shippers meet or exceed U.S. Postal Service and air courier (UPS and FedEx) requirements for shipment of biological specimens.

All shipper orders received by 4:30 PM PDT will be assembled and shipped within one business day. Once your order is shipped, you can expect to receive your shipper within an average of 3-5 business days.
