Navigating the complexities of cryo shipping for fertility treatments can be overwhelming. Whether you're travelling abroad for IVF procedures or sourcing donor materials from other countries, you need a reliable partner to handle the transportation of your precious genetic materials. At Greenplace Healthcare, we specialise in cryo shipping, offering unparalleled expertise and professionalism as a company run by healthcare professionals. Read on to discover how we ensure the safe and efficient transportation of your sperm, eggs, and embryos.
What is Cryo Shipping?
Cryo shipping involves transporting genetic materials, such as sperm, eggs, ovarian tissue, and embryos, from one clinic to another under carefully controlled conditions. At Greenplace Healthcare, we utilise advanced vitrification techniques, storing your reproductive tissues at temperatures below -150°C to maintain their integrity and viability. Unlike traditional slow-freezing methods, vitrification offers higher success rates, making it the preferred choice for preserving genetic materials.
For long-term storage, your reproductive tissues are housed in cryo storage tanks filled with liquid nitrogen at -196°C, suspending all biological processes until they are ready for use in IVF procedures. When it comes to shipping, we use specially designed shipping dewars filled with retention foam to maintain the required low temperatures during transit.
