Help: E.coli at RT ???????????????

[ParentE at dfo-mpo.gc.ca]

Hello all.

I have to send some cloned E.coli  DH5 from the US to Canada. As I had
problems in the past with samples taking a long time to clear customs, I
would like to know how long and E.coli in glycerol can stay at room
temperature before I get into trouble? Just in case...

I'm sorry for the basic question, but I'm really not a microbiologist

Thank you
