How will the Level 3 agents be transported to the building?
Transportation of infectious materials is governed by strict national and international rules including guidelines from the Department of Transportation and the International Air Transport Authority. All biological samples that are potentially infectious are packed, shipped and transported by authorized individuals. MU is notified in advance that a shipment is expected. Trained personnel are given a schedule of arrival for incoming shipments and are prepared to receive them; transportation policies can be viewed at http://bmbl.od.nih.gov/appendc.
