Transporting biological samples such as eggs, embryos, sperm, and cell samples is a critical part of fertility treatments, PG testing, and medical research. The integrity and safety of these samples are essential to their successful use, making it paramount to choose the right transport service. GreenPlace Healthcare specializes in hand carry cryo shipping services—offering the safest, most secure way to transport biological materials in and out of Nigeria.
While traditional shipping methods expose delicate materials to multiple handling points, temperature changes, and potential delays, hand carry transport ensures that samples are personally overseen by an experienced courier from pickup to delivery, minimizing risk and maximizing safety. This article will guide you through why GreenPlace Healthcare is the best choice for cryo shipping and how we can help you transport your eggs, embryos, sperm, or cell samples.
What Is Cryo Shipping and Why Is It Important?
Cryo shipping refers to the transport of biological samples that must be maintained at extremely low temperatures to preserve their viability. This method is essential for fertility treatments, embryo freezing, egg freezing, and stem cell research. Materials like eggs, embryos, sperm, and cell samples need to be stored and transported under tightly controlled conditions to ensure they remain viable and functional upon arrival.
Given the sensitive nature of these materials, traditional shipping methods—where samples may be passed between various handlers—aren't sufficient. These methods expose samples to risks such as temperature instability, delayed delivery, and mismanagement during transit. Hand carry transport, however, offers an optimized solution where the entire journey of the samples is handled by a dedicated, single courier, ensuring constant care and secure transport.
Why GreenPlace Healthcare Is the Safest Choice for Cryo Shipping in Nigeria
As Nigeria's leader in hand carry transport for eggs, embryos, sperm, and cell samples, GreenPlace Healthcare offers the highest standard of cryogenic shipping. Here’s why we are the trusted experts in transporting these valuable biological materials:
1. Personalized, Secure Transport
Our hand carry transport ensures that eggs, embryos, sperm, and cell samples are under the constant supervision of our professional couriers. Unlike traditional medical cargo services, where samples are passed between multiple handlers, our service guarantees that a single courier is responsible for the entire journey, minimizing exposure to risks and ensuring that the materials are carefully managed from start to finish.
2. Comprehensive Insurance for Your Peace of Mind
All our shipments are fully insured for added protection. We offer insurance coverage up to £36,750 on every shipment, ensuring that your valuable biological materials are protected in the unlikely event of an issue.
3. Live Tracking for Transparency
With real-time map tracking for every shipment, you can monitor the exact location of your biological materials during transit. This ensures full transparency and allows you to stay updated on the status of your shipment, providing peace of mind every step of the way.
4. Dedicated Client Portal for Easy Communication
Our client portal streamlines communication, providing a central hub where you can access tracking information, view documents, and stay up to date on shipment progress. This platform helps simplify the logistics of cryo shipping for both individuals and clinics managing multiple shipments.
5. Global Shipping to and from Nigeria
In addition to domestic shipments across Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt), we offer global cryo shipping services. Whether you’re shipping eggs, embryos, or sperm to the UK, USA, Europe, or other international locations, we ensure your biological materials are handled with the utmost care, providing a safe and efficient delivery to your destination.
The Process: What Intended Parents Need to Do to Transport Samples
If you’re an intended parent or a clinic handling the transport of eggs, embryos, or sperm, there’s a simple process to follow. Here’s what you need to do to ensure your biological samples are shipped safely:
Notify Both the Importing and Exporting Clinics The first step is to inform both the importing clinic (where the samples are going) and the exporting clinic (where the samples are coming from) about the shipment. You’ll need to let them know that GreenPlace Healthcare will be handling the transport as your official courier.
Confirm That We Are Your Shipping Partner Once both clinics are notified, make sure they understand that GreenPlace Healthcare will be your shipping partner. This ensures that all parties are aware of the logistics and paperwork required for the shipment. Both clinics will need to provide us with any necessary import/export documentation, ensuring smooth customs clearance and compliance with international regulations.
We Handle the Rest After confirming our role as your courier, GreenPlace Healthcare takes over the entire process. We will coordinate with both clinics to handle all paperwork and logistics, ensuring that everything from customs clearance to required documentation is in order. We’ll then proceed to collect the samples from the exporting clinic and ensure they are safely transported to the importing clinic.
Real-Time Tracking and Insurance During transport, you and the clinics can track the shipment in real-time using our live map tracking system. Our insurance coverage ensures peace of mind throughout the shipping process, guaranteeing that your samples are protected.
Flexible Shipping Options for Every Need
Whether you’re sending eggs, embryos, sperm, or cell samples from Nigeria to the UK, USA, or any other destination, GreenPlace Healthcare offers combined and individual transport options.
Combined Shipments: If you have multiple clients or shipments, we can consolidate them into a single hand carry tank, reducing shipping costs while maintaining the highest levels of safety.
Individual Shipments: If each shipment needs to be transported separately, we can handle this as well, providing the ultimate in security and personalized service.
Why Hand Carry Transport Is the Best Option
Hand carry transport is far superior to traditional cargo methods because it reduces the risk of mishandling and temperature fluctuations. With direct human oversight, your biological samples are kept at optimal conditions throughout their journey, ensuring their safety and integrity. The single-courier model allows us to offer faster transit times and more direct handling—everything that traditional shipping methods can’t provide.
