Transportations of eggs and oocytes in cryo-containers worldwide

Modern reproductive technologies often require the transfer of biological material between countries. Oocyte transport is a critical process upon which the success of your treatment depends. It is important to understand how the shipping of oocytes and delivery between clinics in different countries is carried out in order to preserve their viability.

When Oocyte Transport Is Needed

The need for oocyte transport arises in several cases. A common reason is relocation to another country or spouses living in different countries. It is also in demand if you wish to undergo treatment at a clinic with more advanced medical technology, or when required procedures (e.g., surrogacy or donation) are permitted in one country but unavailable in another.

Shipping Frozen Oocytes: Key Aspects

The main rule of shipping frozen oocytes is the strict adherence to temperature control. The material is stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. Special cryocontainers (Dewar vessels) are used for transport. They maintain ultra-low temperatures autonomously for up to 30 days. Shipping frozen oocytes excludes even short-term warming, so the containers are equipped with monitoring sensors. Throughout the journey, the biological material remains in nitrogen vapor, guaranteeing its complete preservation.

Delivery of Oocytes Between Clinics

Organizing delivery between clinics in different countries is always a complex task. The process follows a strict “clinic → clinic” scheme. Our service courier arrives at the point of origin, where an embryologist hands over a sealed cryocontainer. During delivery, the courier accompanies the cargo personally as carry-on luggage throughout the entire flight, without transfers, to eliminate shaking and emergencies. We also handle all customs formalities.

Donor Oocytes: International Transport and Coordination

Transporting donor oocytes requires special attention to documentation. It is crucial to clearly coordinate the actions of all parties: the reproductive cell bank, the receiving clinic, and the patient herself. Before ordering the transport of donor oocytes, compatibility of the biological material with the recipient must be confirmed, and all legal documents must be signed. We organize transport so that the material arrives exactly at the time of endometrial preparation.

Delivery of Oocytes for IVF

Delivery of oocytes for IVF is the final stage before transfer. Preparation begins with document verification and sample identification. It is important to specify the exact date and time: if you are planning delivery of oocytes for IVF, the woman’s cycle is already synchronized, and delays are unacceptable. As soon as the cargo arrives at the laboratory, the embryologist immediately places the oocytes into storage or proceeds with thawing them for fertilization.

Proper organization of the process is a guarantee that your reproductive plans will be realized. We deliver your future. Please clarify details and cost in advance.
