Ovarian Tissue Shipping: Specialized Handling Requirements

Ovarian Tissue Shipping: Fertility Preservation Transport Protocol

Ovarian Tissue Transport Essentials

  • Temperature: -196°C (cryopreserved) or 4°C (fresh)
  • Timeline Critical: Fresh tissue must arrive within 24 hours
  • Primary Use: Cancer fertility preservation
  • Success Rate: 97% arrival integrity with proper protocols

Ovarian Tissue Transport Overview

Ovarian tissue shipping is one of the most time-sensitive reproductive tissue transports. Unlike embryos or oocytes, ovarian tissue may be shipped fresh (non-frozen) for immediate processing, requiring delivery within 12-24 hours of retrieval.

Transport Methods

1. Cryopreserved Tissue (Frozen)

  • Temperature: -196°C in liquid nitrogen
  • Container: Dry shipper (same as embryos)
  • Timeline: Flexible (can be stored indefinitely)
  • Use Case: Long-term storage, international transport

2. Fresh Tissue (Non-Frozen)

  • Temperature: 4°C (refrigerated)
  • Container: Specialized medical transport cooler
  • Timeline: MUST arrive within 12-24 hours
  • Use Case: Immediate processing, short distances
