I was doing my PhD at University of Melbourne and planning to continue the study in my lab at International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuantan Campus. I would like to ask from fellow colleagues who have experience or know a way to transport cell line from one country to another on the following matter:
1) How do you prepare the sample to ensure it is survive once reach to the destination?
2) What are the document needed to do the shipping?
3) Do you have any suggestion on other alternative way to transport the cell line if not by courier?
Your advice is highly appreciated.
Thank you.
1) suspend 10x10^6 epithelial cells in freezing media (10% DMSO, in FCS, eg. 100ul DMSO in 900ul FSC) and keep your cells in Mr Frosty and store in -80oC over night and then transfer into liquid nitrogen for over night.
Ship your specimen in dry ice.
2) You may contact World Courier for shipment. They will guide you.
3) no alternative ways... they are illegal.

This is a qs is related to your qs. Hope it helps.
