**New** "Bird Remains" Collection Recommendations!
Added by Dave Moore on Feb 01 2010 15:33

Recent data has shown that water regularly causes mold to form and sometimes ruins the DNA. A new recommendation will be published soon recommending the use of alcohol (70% Ethanol) to clean snarge (blood smear) instead of water. Of course, before using alcohol on the aircraft skin, consult aircraft manuals to make sure alcohol is an approved cleaning solution.

For new information regarding collection from H5N1 countries please review the INTERIM SAFETY SUPPLEMENT (ISS) T.O. 1-1-691SS-1, DATED 10 MAY 2007
