Using Our At-Home Collection Kit + Supervised Hand-Carry Cryo Transport

Transporting sperm internationally for IVF or surrogacy is not a standard courier transaction. It is a regulated, temperature-critical, chain-of-custody medical process.


At Cryo Medical Logistics, we provide:

  • At-home sperm collection kits (U.S.-based)

  • Partner lab testing and cryopreservation

  • Fully supervised hand-carry cryogenic transport to Nigeria

  • Direct IVF clinic-to-clinic delivery

  • 48–72 hour door-to-door delivery

  • -196°C guaranteed temperature integrity

This guide explains the entire workflow from collection to delivery in Nigeria.


Step 1: Order Your At-Home Collection Kit


You begin by contacting our team:

👉 Click here to message us on WhatsApp: https://wa.me/447585610211?


You can:

  • Call us

  • Email us

  • Message us directly on WhatsApp


Our clinical logistics team will:

  • Confirm your IVF or surrogacy destination clinic

  • Review required Nigerian import documentation

  • Coordinate with our U.S. laboratory partner

  • Dispatch your FDA-compliant collection kit


Step 2: Home Collection & Return to Partner Lab

Once you receive your kit:

  1. Follow the enclosed medical instructions carefully.

  2. Collect your sample in the sterile container provided.

  3. Package it using the temperature-stable materials included.

  4. Return it via the pre-arranged courier to our U.S. partner laboratory.


Step 3: Laboratory Testing, Freezing & Cryopreservation

Your sample is processed at our partner laboratory, which is:

  • CLIA accredited

  • FDA compliant

  • Licensed for reproductive tissue cryopreservation

The lab performs:

  • Semen analysis

  • Infectious disease screening

  • Cryoprotectant preparation

  • Controlled-rate freezing

  • Storage in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen (-196°C)

Once frozen, your sperm is safely stored until transport is scheduled.


Step 4: Pre-Clearance for Nigeria (Critical Phase)

Before shipment begins, we complete regulatory coordination.


This includes:

  • Nigerian import permit verification

  • Receiving IVF clinic authorization

  • Customs documentation preparation

  • Pre-clearance coordination with airport authorities


Airports commonly used:

  • Murtala Muhammed International Airport

  • Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport


Clearance is arranged before departure, preventing airport detention.


Step 5: Supervised Hand-Carry Cryo Transport (USA → Nigeria)


Unlike cargo shipping, we operate fully supervised hand-carry transport.
