Free radioisotope package delivery service by the EH&S Services Lab is available upon request for qualifying UCSD laboratories.

To qualify for delivery service, laboratories must have:

• An employee who's authorized on the lab's Radiation Use Authorization (RUA) present to sign for the package delivery
• A posted Radioactive Materials Area to store the material
• A posted refrigerator or freezer in a designated Radioactive Materials Area to receive refrigerated or frozen isotopes, if applicable

Request delivery service with the Radioactive Materials Package Delivery Request form (PDF), following the instructions on the form. Principal investigators with multiple RUAs should complete one form per RUA.

Principal investigators can authorize delivery of radioisotope packages to their qualifying laboratory without a receipt signature. To request this option, check the "Release of Responsibility" box at the bottom of the Radioactive Materials Package Delivery Request form. Delivery without a signature is not available for packages marked Radioactive Material Security.

Deliveries are Monday through Friday, 2–4 p.m. If delivery is not possible on the first attempt, a second, final delivery attempt will be made the next working day. Undelivered packages will be returned to the EH&S Services Lab where they will be available for pick up.
