Avoid freezing carcasses unless long delays are anticipated. Freezing can cause issues with tissues used for histopathology and make some pathogen isolation impossible.The carcass should be wrapped within three plastic bags: (1) Inner plastic bag: should be leak proof; i.e. large zipper lock bag, and sealed with plastic packing tape or zip tie. (2) Middle plastic bag: the bagged carcass should be placed within a second leak proof plastic bag. Add absorbent material (e.g. disposable diapers) and freezer packs to this bag. Avoid using ice cubes which increases the likelihood of the package leaking. Securely tape or zip tie this bag closed. (3) Outermost bag: place the above in a third plastic bag and securely tape or zip tie this bag closed.Ship via FEDEX or UPS directly to MSU.
