Sending

Provided you have used only a few drops of dilute ethanol, you can send your samples in the mail. Once the samples have settled, minimise the amount of water remaining, seal and pack them securely and declare the contents on the package as "Fixed Algal Samples" From outside Australia, samples not fixed will require an import permit. Quarantine services will contact us and pass on the samples once we guarantee immediate chemical treatment. Address packages to:
