Step-by-Step Guide: Client & Exporting Clinic Checklist
Step 1: Notify Both Clinics
Let both the exporting clinic (where your samples originate) and the receiving clinic (in Atlanta or abroad) know you’ll work with us. Early coordination ensures all parties align on timing, documentation, and regulatory expectations.
Step 2: Clinic Export Compliance & Paperwork
Exporting clinics in the U.S. must meet FDA and HCT/P requirements, including:
Donor and recipient screening and infectious disease tests (HIV, hepatitis B/C, syphilis, CMV, HTLV, etc.) performed within required timeframes: typically within 7–30 days before or after retrieval
Full documentation: export authorization, specimen release forms, clinic-to-clinic transfer templates
FDA-registration and maintenance of donor/test records in CLIA-certified labs
If embryos or gametes are created under foreign regulations (e.g., UK), retrospective testing or FDA waivers may be required for use in U.S. clinics
Expect the exporting clinic to charge a release or handling fee (typically between $150–500 USD or more), separate from shipping fees.
Step 3: Client Signs Courier Documents
You will complete:
Transport Service Agreement
Transport Consent Form (authorising biological material transport and courier coordination)
Once signed, we handle all coordination with both clinics.
Step 4: Courrier Logistics & Execution
Your samples are loaded into medical-grade dry shipper tanks, pre-charged with liquid nitrogen vapor (~–150 °C to –196 °C). These are designed for safe air transport and long-duration integrity
Onboard courier carries documentation and medical exemption letters—avoiding X-ray exposure and ensuring secure customs process.
📄 FAQ: Key Questions Frequently Googled
How long can embryos, eggs, or sperm survive in transport?
Cryopreserved cells remain viable for 7–19 days inside quality LN₂ dry shippers, and potentially for decades under proper storage conditions (–196 °C).
What are LN₂ dry shippers?
When transporting frozen embryos, sperm, or eggs, maintaining an ultra-stable cryogenic environment is absolutely critical. Reproductive cells are extremely delicate and sensitive to even minor temperature fluctuations. That’s where LN₂ dry shippers come in — they are the gold standard for safe, compliant, and temperature-secure cryogenic transport.
An LN₂ (liquid nitrogen) dry shipper is a specialized medical container designed to safely transport cryopreserved biological samples — such as human embryos, oocytes (eggs), sperm, and tissue — at ultra-low temperatures without using loose liquid nitrogen.
Instead of containing free-flowing LN₂, dry shippers use absorbent insulation material (often a porous core) to soak up liquid nitrogen. This insulation slowly releases cold nitrogen vapor to maintain a stable internal temperature — typically between –150°C and –196°C — during transport.
This method is called “vapor-phase cryogenic shipping”, which eliminates the risk of LN₂ spills or contamination while keeping samples completely frozen.
Why are LN₂ dry shippers used?
Cryopreserved reproductive materials must remain below –150°C to avoid cellular damage. Once thawed — even briefly — the cells lose viability and cannot be re-frozen. That’s why air-tight, shock-resistant, medical-grade LN₂ dry shippers are required.
Here’s what makes dry shippers essential:
1. Consistent Cryogenic Temperature
LN₂ dry shippers maintain a stable internal temperature for 7 to 20 days, depending on the model and environmental conditions. This ensures no warming events occur during transit — even across continents or customs delays.
2. Radiation-Safe for Air Travel
Dry shippers are X-ray exempt when supported by proper medical documentation. Radiation (like airport X-rays) can damage DNA inside sperm or embryo cells. Our trained couriers carry medical exemption letters to ensure dry shippers bypass scanning machines.
3. Spill-Proof & Safe
Unlike wet LN₂ containers, dry shippers contain no free liquid nitrogen, making them IATA-compliant and airline safe. This is critical when shipping internationally or using onboard courier (OBC) services, where the sample travels inside the cabin under human supervision.
4. Shock-Resistant Construction
Our dry shippers are built to withstand bumps, turbulence, and rough handling. They feature internal canisters that securely hold your reproductive samples in individual vials or straws, preventing breakage or agitation during transit.
5. Real-Time Monitoring
Every dry shipper we send is equipped with a medical-grade temperature data logger. This tiny sensor logs the internal temperature every 2–5 seconds, giving us and you a full digital record of the environment surrounding your cells.
If there is ever any concern about sample viability, we can present full temperature logs to show your reproductive cells stayed at optimal cryogenic conditions the entire way.
How do LN₂ dry shippers protect my reproductive cells?
We use only top-tier MVE brand dry shippers — the same used in leading fertility clinics and hospitals. These are carefully prepared in our clinic before every journey.
Here’s how we protect your cells:
Dry shipper is selected and cleaned according to sterile protocols
LN₂ is added and absorbed into the container’s lining
A 7-day validation process confirms cryogenic stability
The temperature logger is calibrated and tested
Your vials are loaded into secure canisters within the dry shipper
The shipper is sealed, labeled, and packed for air travel
Medical courier carries it by hand and bypasses all X-ray machines
GPS + temperature logs are monitored throughout the journey
Upon arrival, your clinic receives the logs and handles the hand-off
How long do your LN₂ dry shippers protect my reproductive cells?
Our validated shippers maintain cryogenic temperatures for 7–20 days, depending on the make and model. For international shipments or customs-intensive destinations, we include:
Local refill stations for emergency recharging
24/7 courier support team and route monitoring
Whether you're transporting embryos, sperm, or eggs for IVF, fertility preservation, or surrogacy, dry shippers are the foundation of safety and success. They protect your chance at a future family by ensuring your reproductive cells remain frozen, unexposed, and fully viable throughout their journey — whether traveling from Atlanta to Africa, Europe, or across the U.S.
Your cells are more than a shipment — they are potential life. Our dry shippers and scientific protocols ensure they’re handled with the highest level of care possible.
How Do You Make Sure My Cells Are Not X-Rayed During Transport?
X-ray machines and security scanners are a major risk to the DNA integrity of your frozen reproductive cells. Even in a frozen state, radiation exposure can fragment DNA, reduce sperm motility, or compromise embryo viability — potentially ruining your chances at successful fertility treatment.
🔖 Medical Exemption Documentation
Every shipment includes formal Medical Exemption Letters and Declaration of Human Tissue certificates. These are presented at every customs or security checkpoint, requesting manual inspection only secondary EDT.
Onboard Courier (OBC) Method
When you choose our Hand-Carry Courier Service, your sample never goes through cargo or baggage screening. Our trained medical courier personally escorts the dry shipper inside the aircraft cabin, ensuring:
Zero risk of X-ray exposure
Full visual custody at all times
VIP clearance at airport checkpoints
🚷 X-Ray Bypass Protocols
We’ve worked with TSA (U.S.), CBP, and global airport authorities to establish trusted protocols for bypassing X-ray scanners when transporting human reproductive material.
Our couriers carry official healthcare provider identification, airline clearances, and IATA-compliant labeling, ensuring seamless transit with no radiation risks.
