• If materials are to be refrigerated, it is recommended that an overpack be used to 
contain the refrigerant and the secured (original) outer shipping container. A leak- 
proof outer container must be used for water ice. If dr; ice is used the outer container 
must permit release ol carbon dioxide. Interior supports must be provided to hold 
the contalner(s) in the original position(s) after wet or dr; ice has dissipated. 
• The fleilbiuty of the plastic bottle requires that a stopper or screw cap he secured 
In place by adhesive tape. The usual equivalent-size glass flat-sided prescription 
bottle too fragile for use. For air transport, all stoppers, corks, and caps on primary 
containers must be secured in place with vi^e, ta^, or other means, and aU screw- 
capped containers of unfrozen liquid must be placed in 6- or d-mil polyvinyl tubing, 
heat sealed at botti ends to prevent atmospheric decompression that may result in 
leakage past the screw cap. 
• 610 by 708 and 804 by 908 arc trade designations for outside dimensions of 0'«io-
