Transportations of sperm in cryo-containers worldwide

Sperm Transport: Shipping for IVF and International Delivery

Sperm Transport: Shipping for IVF and International DeliveryReproductive technologies today erase geographical boundaries. If you are planning to undergo an IVF or surrogacy program in another country, the question arises of how to safely deliver your biological material. This is a complex process requiring strict adherence to temperature control and legal compliance. We accompany each patient personally — from the sending clinic to the receiving clinic — ensuring the integrity of the samples.

When Sperm Transport Is Needed

The need for delivery arises when patients choose the best clinic abroad, live in different countries from their spouse, relocate, or turn to permitted surrogacy and donation programs in other countries. Another scenario is transport from a cryobank (where donor or personal material is stored) directly to the laboratory for fertilization.

Key Aspects of Frozen Sperm Transport

The main rule is maintaining cryogenic temperatures. Frozen sperm transport is carried out exclusively in dry Dewar vessels (model CHART MVE SC 4/2v). A temperature of -196°C is maintained inside using liquid nitrogen vapor. The static holding time is up to 13 days. The specialized container is protected from shocks and tipping. A courier personally accompanies the cargo, transports the container upright in the aircraft cabin, and it does not pass through airport X-ray scanners. Delivery is performed with continuous monitoring of parameters, and upon arrival the client receives a temperature report.

Sperm Delivery for IVF and Between Clinics

Delivery for IVF requires not only technical but also administrative support. We handle coordination with both clinics: agreeing on the date and time so that the biological material arrives exactly as scheduled for the cycle. It is important to obtain confirmation from the receiving laboratory in advance that they are ready to accept the cargo and to strictly follow their internal protocols. Preparation for transport takes up to 2 weeks, while delivery to any point in the world takes 24–48 hours.

International Delivery

International transport is the most complex task, as it requires consideration of the laws of two countries. It involves obtaining export and import permits, translation of medical documents and certificates. All samples are transported in the courier’s carry-on luggage in cryocontainers certified for air travel. We provide full customs clearance and legal support at all stages. Containers are inspected without X-ray, and a trained courier ensures the cargo is not delayed during security checks. Delivery is possible to any country: USA, Canada, EU countries, Georgia, Israel, Japan, Korea, Australia, Kazakhstan, and others. We offer special conditions for clinics, cryobanks, and surrogacy agencies.

Sperm Delivery from a Cryobank

The “cryobank → clinic” scenario is one of the most common. Delivery begins when the embryologist removes the carriers with the samples. Label verification is performed in the presence of two staff members. The material is then placed into a transport Dewar vessel. The courier delivers the cargo “door-to-door” to the designated laboratory. Upon arrival, a representative of the clinic checks the integrity of the packaging and signs the acceptance certificate.

Trust your transport only to professionals who guarantee safety, confidentiality, and compliance with all regulations. We will carefully deliver your biological material anywhere in the world so that you can achieve your desired outcome.
