If Dr. Cotty has requested samples from you, his lab will send a package containing Red and White labels that say “DELIVER TO U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.” These are needed to ship the samples and/or cultures to our facility in Tucson Arizona.
Please retain a portion of each sample or a transfer of each culture in the event the packages are lost.
Samples must be double wrapped (i.e. in a plastic bag within a plastic bag) and shipped within nested boxes (a smaller box within a larger box – see diagram) or nested containers or nested pouches.
Inside box should contain:
- The double-wrapped samples and/or cultures.
- A copy of the 5 page paper permit in a pouch (permit and pouch provided by Cotty’s Lab).
