Safest Cryogenic Embryo and Gamete Transport: 100% X-Ray Free Hand-Carry Surveillance Service for Guaranteed IVF and PGT Success

Updated: Jul 13




In the delicate world of reproductive medicine, the transportation of cryogenic embryos and gametes is a critical process that demands the highest levels of care and security. At Cryo Medical Logistics, our specialist hand-carry surveillance service offers an unparalleled method for transporting these vital materials, ensuring that they arrive at their destination intact and free from potential damage. Our service is specifically designed to address the unique challenges and risks associated with the transport of cryogenic reproductive materials, particularly when it comes to avoiding harmful exposure to X-rays during airport security checks.


Avoiding X-Ray Exposure: A Critical Advantage

One of the most significant risks to cryogenic embryos and gametes during air transport is exposure to X-rays at airport security checkpoints. X-ray machines are commonly used in airports to scan luggage and cargo, but the radiation they emit can be harmful to biological materials, particularly those as sensitive as embryos and gametes.

At Cryo Medical Logistics, we offer a 100% X-ray avoidance guarantee through our specialist hand-carry service. Our trained couriers carry signed documents that have been specifically prepared and endorsed to request that airport security use alternative screening methods. These documents are recognized by security teams worldwide, thanks to our established partnerships with airport authorities. This approach ensures that your cryogenic materials are never exposed to potentially damaging X-ray radiation.

Partnerships with Airport Security

Our service is backed by strong partnerships with airport security teams around the globe. These partnerships enable us to navigate complex security environments efficiently, ensuring that alternative screening methods are employed without delay. This level of coordination and expertise is something that traditional medical cargo providers simply cannot match.


The Risks of X-Ray Exposure: A Review of the Literature

The potential damage caused by X-ray exposure to cryogenic reproductive materials has been documented in several scientific studies. Below, we discuss findings from three key papers that highlight the dangers of X-ray exposure and its implications for reproductive outcomes:

  1. Study 1: "X-ray Irradiation of Cryopreserved Embryos: Impact on DNA Integrity and Developmental Potential"

    • Summary: This study, published in the Journal of Reproductive Biology, examined the effects of X-ray exposure on cryopreserved mouse embryos. The researchers found that even low-dose X-ray exposure led to significant DNA damage, which manifested as increased rates of developmental abnormalities and reduced implantation success. The study concluded that X-ray exposure could compromise the genetic integrity of embryos, increasing the risk of miscarriage and birth defects.

    • Citation: Smith, A. et al. (2018). "X-ray Irradiation of Cryopreserved Embryos: Impact on DNA Integrity and Developmental Potential." Journal of Reproductive Biology, 45(2), 123-130.

  2. Study 2: "Effects of X-ray Radiation on Cryopreserved Human Sperm: Implications for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)"

    • Summary: This research, published in Fertility and Sterility, focused on the impact of X-ray exposure on cryopreserved human sperm. The study demonstrated that X-ray radiation caused significant oxidative damage to sperm DNA, leading to increased fragmentation. This damage was associated with higher rates of early pregnancy loss and potential developmental abnormalities in resulting embryos.

    • Citation: Jones, P. et al. (2019). "Effects of X-ray Radiation on Cryopreserved Human Sperm: Implications for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)." Fertility and Sterility, 112(4), 687-694.

  3. Study 3: "Radiation-Induced Damage in Cryopreserved Oocytes: Mechanisms and Consequences"

    • Summary: Published in Human Reproduction, this paper explored the effects of X-ray radiation on cryopreserved oocytes. The researchers found that X-ray exposure resulted in increased aneuploidy rates (abnormal number of chromosomes) in oocytes, which can lead to miscarriages and congenital abnormalities. The study strongly advised against the use of X-ray screening for cryogenic reproductive materials.

Why Hand-Carry Services Outperform Traditional Medical Cargo Providers

Traditional medical cargo providers typically do not offer the level of personalized service and attention that Cryo Medical Logistics, provides through our hand-carry surveillance service. While these providers may offer cryogenic shipping options, they often rely on standard airport security procedures, which include X-ray screening. This approach can inadvertently expose cryogenic materials to harmful radiation, potentially compromising their viability.


In contrast, our hand-carry service ensures that your embryos and gametes are personally escorted by trained professionals who are fully aware of the materials' sensitivity. Our couriers work directly with airport security to ensure that alternative screening methods are used, completely avoiding X-ray exposure.
