My trip to Alert is getting closer fast recently I have been able to ship the dangerous goods, consisting of hydrochloric acid and ethanol (which both use for cleaning purposes) and gas cylinders for the GC-FID. Getting these good ready for air cargo is a bit tricky and requires preparation by specially trained personnel. Some suppliers, who first assured me that they could provide the necessary documentation suddenly backed out – but in the end and with great support from several people everything went well.
Now I prepare the regular cargo shipment, including the GC-FID and other several large items for my measurements up North. Not forgetting anything is crucial, because there will not be a second chance – let’s see.
