How Is Cryopreserved Sperm Different from Fresh Sperm and embryos? What This Means for Transport to Nigeria
When considering IVF or surrogacy in Nigeria or planning to transport sperm and embryos samples internationally, understanding the difference between cryopreserved sperm and fresh sperm is crucial for success and safety.
What Is Cryopreserved Sperm and Embryos?
Cryopreserved sperm is sperm and embryos that has been frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen at ultra-low temperatures (around -196°C). This process halts all cellular activity, preserving the sperm’s viability for months or even years. Cryopreservation is the gold standard for international sperm shipping to and from Nigeria, as it allows for flexible timing, thorough infectious disease screening, and safe long-distance transport.
Medical Cargo Shipping vs. Concierge Hand-Carry: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to transporting embryos and sperm to and from Nigeria, there are two main methods: medical cargo shipping and concierge hand-carry courier services. At Greenplace Healthcare, we exclusively offer the concierge hand-carry service, which is widely regarded as the safest and most reliable option for transporting your precious reproductive cells.
Aspect | Medical Cargo Shipping | Concierge Hand-Carry (Greenplace Healthcare) |
Handling | Multiple handlers and transit points | Single trained medical courier handles entire journey |
Temperature Control | Risk of temperature fluctuations during transit | Continuous monitoring and strict cryogenic conditions |
Security | Potential exposure to X-rays and rough handling | No X-ray exposure; samples always under courier supervision |
Tracking & Updates | Limited real-time tracking and communication | Live tracking with constant updates via client portal |
Customs & Paperwork | Often complex, with risk of delays | Full management of permits and customs by courier team |
Risk of Delay or Loss | Higher due to multiple handoffs and cargo delays | Minimal; courier adapts to any changes or emergencies |
Peace of Mind | Lower due to less control and oversight | Highest—personalized care from start to finish |
