Sample shipping
Shipping to beamline:

As we mentioned yesterday in John’s update, we are working on a detailed process for the shipping of samples. Since you might already be in contact with your users about shipping samples, please use the following information to ship samples to the facility. Our facility will have a designated Sample Shipping Coordinator who will take care of receiving and sending samples. However, this person will only take care of samples that follow the outlined instructions. So, please ensure for all future shipments that your users are aware this!

Please use  FedEx Express services  (so called “E” Labels). Please also include with the samples a FedEx return label.

Users should ship their samples to the following address:

To: NSLS-II Sample Shipping Coordinator

National Synchrotron Light Source II

740 Brookhaven Avenue

Bldg. 740 – Loading Dock

Upton, NY 11973-5000

Please include on the outside AND inside of the package the following information:


 * 1) NSLS-II PROPOSAL #


 * 1) NSLS-II SAF #


 * 1) NSLS-II Beamline Number     (e.g. 8-BM)

Returning samples to users:

We have a new procedure in place to return samples to users. Here is a summary.

Automatic Shipping Labels in PASS for Users

The shipping process for the users has not changed since last week, so please continue to share the following information about the shipping process with your users. Note that users also receive this information about shipping as part of their allocation emails, but you may want to remind them of the new process.

Here is a short reminder of the process:


 * 1) The user can now generate shipping labels through PASS.
 * 2) Once a user’s SAF is approved, the user can save or     print the label in the “General” tab of the SAF.
 * 3) Top section of the label should be taped on the outside     of the box.
 * 4) Bottom section should be included inside the box.
 * 5) The user needs to fill in a return address into the     bottom section of the label.
 * 6) The user will be able to use this label for any shipping     method they choose since this label is not bound to any provider.

Wait? Where in PASS? Here’s is an image to help you find it:

For beamline staff

To return samples to users, please email the following information to mailto:NSLS2SSCoord@bnl.gov%7CNSLS2SSCoord@bnl.gov:


 * 1) Contact Information of the user (including phone number)
 * 2) Address to ship to
 * 3) A list of chemicals that are in the package
 * 4) Include special information such as deadlines or special     circumstances

After the Shipping Coordinator receives your email with the above information, they will set up a pick-up time and place with you to receive the sealed box with the samples.
