Can Safe-Lock micro test tubes filled with liquids be transported in an airplane?
The liquids that can be transported in an airplane can be found in the IATA regulations. The following applies for allowable liquids: Because normal pressure conditions are the rule in the passenger cabin, Safe-Lock micro test tubes filled with liquid can be transported in the passenger cabin without a problem. Refrigerated (e.g. PCR reagents on dry ice) samples are also not a problem in the cargo area. If unrefrigerated samples are transported in the cargo area, the tubes must be additionally secured, for example, by taping the lids.
