🔬 Premium Dry Shipper & Liquid Nitrogen Preparation

What Is a Dry Shipper?

A dry shipper is an advanced, non-electrical container designed specifically for transporting frozen biological samples like sperm, eggs, and embryos.Key features include:

• Built-in liquid nitrogen capacity to maintain –150°C to –196°C (colder than Antarctica!)

• Vapor-phase storage using absorbent insulation—ensuring no liquid spills

• Sustains cryogenic temperatures for up to 20 days, regardless of long-haul transit or customs hold-ups

Our advanced dry shippers

What Is Liquid Nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen (LN₂) is a cryogenic fluid cooling below –196°C. In our prep lab:

1. Each dry shipper is charged with LN₂, which is absorbed into its insulation.

2. Evaporation into vapor-phase keeps internal temperature extremely low and stable.

3. Vapor-phase is safer than liquid contact—reducing the risk of vial damage or contamination.

Liquid Nitrogen

Step-by-Step Preparation & Validation

Our UK laboratory follows a strict checklist:

1. Selection & cleaning – Only MVE-brand shippers are used, known for reliability in medical and fertility sectors.

2. LN₂ charging – Liquid nitrogen is carefully added and absorbed.

3. 7-day validation – We record temperature over a week to confirm stable –196°C hold.

4. Backup measures – Secondary cold unit and backup couriers are on standby in the event of delays.

📈 Precision Temperature Monitoring

To guarantee absolute safety:

• Each shipment includes a medical-grade data logger.

• Records temperature every 2 seconds (~43,200 readings daily).

• Data is downloaded and retained, allowing full auditability and reassurance.

🚫 X-Ray Avoidance: Critical for Sample Integrity

X-rays can damage DNA and reduce cell viability—even in frozen biological material. Studies show they can cause sperm DNA fragmentation and reduced motility, rendering samples ineffective for IVF or ICSI.

That’s why:

• We ship with special exemption documentation.

• Cargo bypasses airport X‑ray machines entirely.

• A trained medical courier hand-carries samples in the cabin, not in checked luggage.

• Compliance is non-negotiable to guarantee protection against radiation exposure.

🛃 Paperwork, Customs & Import Handling

Transporting human biological samples across borders requires precise regulatory handling. We manage everything:

• Export permits and courier declarations from the USA.

• Import authorizations into Nigeria, prearranged with our local clinic partners.

• Chain-of-custody documentation to track every hand-off.

• Accessible contacts for customs officials—available 24/7.

• Professional medical couriers who maintain credential and paperwork compliance during transit.

💼 Tiered Insurance for Complete Protection

We provide tiered insurance coverage underwritten by a licensed insurer:

1. Transport insurance – Protects against damage or delays in transit.

2. Liability cover – Ensures clinics have confidence in continuity of supply.

This robust coverage is rare in standard courier services—but standard with us.

💡 Final Word: Why This Matters
