Embryo Shipping Questions
How are embryos kept frozen during shipping?
We use MVE vapor shippers charged with liquid nitrogen. These specialized containers maintain -196°C for up to 14 days without external power, ensuring your embryos remain in perfect cryogenic stasis.
Is embryo shipping safe for the embryos?
Yes, when done properly. Vitrified embryos are extremely stable at cryogenic temperatures. With our hand-carry protocol, 24/7 temperature monitoring, and zero X-ray exposure policy, your embryos receive the highest level of protection.
How long does embryo shipping take?
Domestic US shipments typically complete within 24-48 hours. International routes (US to UK, US to Mexico) usually take 48-72 hours including customs clearance.
What documentation is needed for embryo transport?
Requirements vary by destination. For UK imports, you need HFEA special directions. For international transfers, we handle FDA tissue export documentation, customs declarations, and clinic transfer agreements.
