To assure that cells retain quality throughout the shipping process, WiCell uses only vapor shippers for cell transport. Shippers are qualified to ensure that they maintain a temperature below -150° C for a minimum of 10 days to ensure cells will arrive safely, even if delayed in transit. We do not ship cells on dry ice.
The vapor shippers are reusable and must be returned. Shipping costs are calculated to include delivery of cells as well as return of the reusable shipper. Return instructions and waybill will be provided with the shipment, and can be found inside the shipper upon delivery.
Domestic shipments (within the United States only) will be shipped via UPS. For international shipments, we will evaluate several couriers and ship via the most cost-effective and reliable option. Please contact us at [email protected] for an estimate of shipping costs.
