We buy cells from one of the largest cell producers in the U. S.  He is
located in Florida.  They sell from 1500 to 2000 cells every other day
in the peak of the year.  We pick them up from his place and keep them
from one to three days.
  The cells are in a device that he makes that is 4 cells wide and 25
cells long that holds 100 cells at a time.  They are wraped in an
insulated blanket that is as big as the device.
   He sells an egg ecubator that we use to keep them in if you plan to
keep them over nite.  We bought a converter from WALMART for about $18
that you can plug into your truck and run the incubater.   We could not
get along without it.
  We always handle with care and the cells are carried upright.  I know
this will not harm them so who cares if other ways will harm or not harm
them.
  We do get in a jack now and then and have to cool them down where it
will give us an extra day to get them in.
