| IATA Triple Packaging System
The IATA Triple Packaging System ensures the safe transport of infectious substances under IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) and is widely adopted by the CDC for biosafety. Its objectives are to prevent leakage, protect personnel, and ensure compliance. The system includes a leak-proof primary container, a secondary protective layer, and a rigid outer container for impact resistance. This design enhances security by preventing exposure, reducing contamination risks, and preserving specimen integrity, making it a global standard in public health and laboratory transport. |  |
| Nasopharyngeal specimen collection guide
A nasopharyngeal biospecimen is a sample collected from the upper part of the throat behind the nose, widely used for detecting respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and influenza. The CDC recommends this biospecimen type because the nasopharynx harbors a high viral load, making it more sensitive and accurate than other sample types, such as oropharyngeal or anterior nasal swabs. The collection process involves inserting a swab deep into the nasal cavity to obtain mucus and cellular material for PCR or antigen-based testing. This method is crucial for early detection, outbreak control, and reducing transmission in both clinical and public health settings. |  |
