The GuardianCryo Difference

Hand-Carry vs. Standard US Courier

Most logistics companies treat IVF shipments like standard cargo—through automated belts, cargo holds, and third-party warehouses. We don't.

Our Proven Process

The GuardianCryo Journey

From the moment of pickup to the final hand-off, your samples never leave our sight. Here is the 5-step lifecycle of your shipment.

Step 1

The "Cold-Chain" Preparation

24-Hour Saturation

Before arriving at the clinic, we perform a "Full-Saturation Charge" of the vapour shipper with liquid nitrogen. We monitor the dewar for 24 hours to ensure a stable, static temperature of approximately -190°C.

Step 2

The Secure Lab Pickup

Dual-Verification & Sealing

Step 3

The "Cabin-Only" Transit

Physical Possession

Step 4

The Non-Invasive Clearance

Hand-Inspection Protocol

Step 5

The Certified Hand-Off

Data-Log Transfer

Before arriving at the clinic, we perform a "Full-Saturation Charge" of the vapour shipper with liquid nitrogen. We monitor the dewar for 24 hours to ensure a stable, static temperature of approximately -190°C.

💡 The Worthington CX100 we use on long-haul routes is rated for a 17-day static hold, far longer than any transit we book.

Average door-to-door: 48-72 hours for international routes

GuardianCryo carried our embryos from California to London. The courier messaged us at every leg, so we always knew where they were. It took the dread out of a week we had been anxious about for months.
