Transportation of Cryopreserved Biomaterial – Safe and Efficient Delivery
The growing use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has made the transportation of cryopreserved biological material—such as donor eggs, sperm, and embryos—an essential part of modern fertility care. Thanks to advanced cryo equipment and logistics solutions, frozen gametes and embryos can be stored and transported over long distances while maintaining a stable ultra-low temperature of -196°C.
Why Is Cryopreserved Biomaterial Transportation Important?
Efficient and secure transportation of frozen biomaterials offers a wide range of benefits:
-
Access to global donor banks: Enables clinics and patients to use biomaterials with specific characteristics from anywhere in the world
-
Overcomes geographic limitations: Frees patients from time or location constraints related to IVF procedures
-
Choice of specialists and labs: Patients can select their preferred fertility clinics or laboratories with advanced technology
To ensure safety and viability, all biomaterials must be transported between certified clinics and cryobanks in approved containers using proper documentation and permits.
Key Conditions for Safe Transportation of Frozen Eggs and Embryos
Safe shipping of cryopreserved biological samples requires specialized equipment and strict compliance with logistics protocols:
-
Dewar vessels and cryo shippers: These containers use absorbent material to retain cryogenic temperatures for 10–17 days
-
Transport in vapor phase: Ensures safe handling without exposure to liquid nitrogen
-
Thermal monitoring: Use of thermo-loggers tracks container temperature at regular intervals
-
Shock-proof design: External casing and internal stabilization protect samples during transit
-
Compact and lightweight: Cryo shippers are easy to handle (4–12 kg) and can carry multiple samples
Detailed documentation about the biomaterial—such as quantity, quality, cryopreservation method, and storage medium—is crucial for successful thawing at the destination clinic.
