For transportation the RNA is suitable. Since your sample is stored in TRIZol could be dangerous for the transporter and the people around. And in RNA you only have to seal properly the tubes with parafilm.

Thank you Aaron Barraza for your help.

Transporting your samples in dry ice might also work.

Thank you...
