Cryo Medical Logistics Shipping Process: What Intended Parents Need to Do

If you're an intended parent or a clinic coordinating the transport of eggs, embryos, sperm, or cell samples, here's what you need to do to ensure safe shipping with Cryo Medical Logistics:

Notify Both Importing and Exporting Clinics The first step is to inform both the exporting clinic (where the samples are coming from) and the importing clinic (where the samples are going) that Cryo Medical Logistics will be handling the shipping. Both clinics should be made aware that we are your dedicated courier for this transport.
Confirm Our Role as Your Shipping Partner After notifying the clinics, confirm that both clinics understand Cryo Medical Logistics is the designated shipping provider. This ensures all necessary paperwork, approvals, and logistics are handled smoothly.
Leave the Rest to Us Once we've been confirmed as the shipping partner, we’ll take care of everything else. Our team will coordinate with both clinics to collect the required documentation and ensure that all the necessary paperwork is in place. From there, we will arrange for the safe pickup and delivery of the biological materials.
Tracking and Insurance During the transport process, you’ll be able to track your shipment in real time using our live map tracking system. Additionally, we offer insurance to cover the biological materials during transit, ensuring that they are fully protected.

Flexible Transport Options for Every Need

We understand that every shipment has unique requirements. That's why we offer both combined and individual transport options, depending on your needs.

Combined Shipments: If you have multiple shipments or clients who need their biological samples transported at the same time, we can combine them into a single hand carry transport tank. This reduces the cost for each client while maintaining the highest level of safety.
Individual Shipments: For more specialized needs or to avoid any mix-ups, we also offer individual shipments to ensure that each biological sample is handled with the utmost care and precision.

Why Hand Carry Transport Is the Best Choice for Cryo Shipping

Hand carry transport is the safest and most secure way to ship cryopreserved biological samples. Unlike traditional shipping methods that expose samples to risks such as temperature fluctuations, delays, and multiple handlers, hand carry transport ensures that your samples are always under direct supervision. This significantly reduces the likelihood of mishandling and guarantees that the materials stay at the appropriate temperature during transit, maintaining their viability and integrity.
