Main character was a girl (pre-teen I think), I remember her having to travel through a snowy landscape and she had this suitcase full of petri dish type things that her mother (now dead) had entrusted her with. Inside the petri dishes were tiny animals (like, miniature versions of actual animals, I remember one in particular had tiny bears in it), and the animals were super fragile and she had to journey to get them somewhere - and I think there were people chasing her trying to get them?

But yeah, if anyone knows what this odd one-off book is from this vague description, I'll be very impressed xD
Searching various databases brings up
Siberia by Ann Halam (pseudonym of Gwyneth Jones). That it?
