i 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 dry ice is used the outer container 
must permit release of carbon dioxide. Interior supports must be provided to hold 
the container(s) in the original position(s) after wet or dry ice has dissipated. 
* The flexibility of the plastic bottle requires that a stopper or screw cap be secured 
In place by adhesive tape. The nsnal equivalent-size glass flp.t-sided prescription 
bottle is too fragile for use. For air transport, all stoppers, corks, and caps on primal y 
containers must be secured in place with wire, tape, or other means, and all screw- 
capped containers of unfrozen liquid must be placed in 5- or 6-mil polyvinyl tubing 
heat sealed at both ends to prevent atmospheric decompression that may result in 
leakage past the screw cap. ,
