The M-Ship Shipping Service prepares packages of biological materials, including dry ice, for shipping for U-M research faculty and staff. The shipping consultants at M-Ship will also prepare the appropriate documentation and paper work, including the commercial invoices required for international shipment.
There are three MShip locations. They are located at Dock 90 at NCRC, Dock 6 at MSRB II and Dock 7 at BSRB. Researchers may drop off their materials or the shipping consultants can pick up the materials at the lab location.
This service, along with the dry ice, standard packing materials, and labels are of no cost to your department. However, each department is required to pay for the courier shipping fee; and personnel are required to complete the appropriate training courses to better communicate to the consultant the hazards and classification of the biohazardous substance or hazardous material.
