Why This Matters for Patients
No X-Ray Exposure: Embryos, sperm, and eggs are extremely vulnerable to X-rays, which standard cargo handling by FedEx or Medical Cargo can expose them to unknowingly. Hand-carry by Cryo Medical Logistics avoids this risk.
Personalized Care: Your IVF samples are never out of sight with Cryo Medical Logistics hand-carry model, unlike FedEx where samples can pass through many hands, increasing risks.
Real-Time Tracking & Support: We provide instant updates, direct contact, and expert support, eliminating worries about your shipment’s condition or delays.
Seamless Legal Compliance: We manage all paperwork and customs, so you avoid complex legal hurdles that often slow or jeopardize shipments with commercial couriers.
Backed by Expertise and Pending Irish Aviation Authority Registration
Cryo Medical Logistics is proud to be in the process of registering with the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), reflecting our adherence to Ireland’s stringent medical transport regulations and aviation safety standards. This pending registration ensures our processes meet the highest legal and safety benchmarks, giving additional confidence to patients and clinics that their shipments comply fully with national and international laws.
Studies on cryogenic cold chain logistics, such as those published by Applied Clinical Trials , show that maintaining uninterrupted ultralow temperatures combined with expert handling significantly reduces risks of damage or loss in IVF shipments. Cryo Medical Logistics’ advanced technology and specialized workforce align with these best practices, delivering the safest and most reliable IVF courier service available in Ireland
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can embryos be transferred from one country to another?
Yes, embryos can be legally transported internationally when done through registered fertility clinics and accredited courier services. Transport must comply with both the sending and receiving country’s regulatory requirements, including licensing by bodies such as Ireland’s IMB source and UK’s HFEA source.
Is it risky to transport embryos?
When handled by professional IVF couriers using advanced cryogenic containers, the risk is minimal. Dry shippers maintain the embryos at essential cryogenic temperatures (-190°C) throughout the shipment, ensuring viability. Our rigorous safety, temperature monitoring, and backup procedures mitigate risks from transport delays or temperature fluctuations.
How do you transport embryos?
Frozen embryos are stored in liquid nitrogen dry shippers that maintain ultralow temperatures. Only specialist couriers trained in reproductive cell transport handle the samples, following strict chain-of-custody and legal documentation protocols. We manage logistics, coordinating directly between clinics, customs, and patients for smooth transport.
Can frozen embryos be shipped internationally?

We specialize in cross-border shipments between Ireland and many global destinations, managing all regulatory paperwork and practical logistics.
How much does it cost to transfer an embryo to another clinic?
Costs vary depending on destination, transport urgency, insurance values, and regulatory compliance requirements. Typical prices range from a few hundred to over a thousand euros, reflecting the specialized nature of cryogenic courier services and documentation processes. We provide transparent, tailored quotes based on your unique shipment details.
