Surrogacy programs would not be possible without specialized technologies, and cryogenic logistics plays a particularly important role in them—a service that, through the use of specialized equipment, ensures the necessary conditions and reliability for the transportation of biological materials. This technology has made tremendous strides in recent years, and it is now possible to transport embryos, eggs, and other materials not only between clinics within the same city or country, but also to carry out international cryogenic logistics. To transport biological material in compliance with all necessary requirements—which are numerous and strict—no compromises can be made. The slightest deviation from the required temperature range can render the material unusable. For this reason, it is essential to engage specialized companies that possess the necessary technologies and equipment to guarantee compliance with all requirements during transport.
Cryogenic Transport Containers
Arkсryo.com uses special cryogenic сontainers during the logistics process for biomaterials, сontainers are designed to maintain stable conditions throughout the entire route, no matter how long it may be. Thanks to this, the material can be transported over very long distances between clinics, including those located not just in another country, but on another continent.
Route planning is a very important step, as an international shipment will involve at least several modes of transportation, ranging from regular vehicles to airplanes. Therefore, ARK.CRYO specialists carefully plan the route and take into account the duration of the trip, the possibility of delays, and other factors, including the time required to clear customs.
Coordination between the sending clinic, the carrier, and the receiving medical facility—which is typically another clinic or laboratory—plays a crucial role in the successful transport of biological materials. Each party must agree in advance on the time of transfer of the biological materials and the procedure to be followed. Once the biological materials arrive at the receiving medical facility, they must immediately be placed in appropriate storage conditions, typically special cryogenic storage units. Every stage of transport, including this one, is coordinated with Ark.Cryo, including through documentation. Special documents are prepared that outline the procedure and necessary requirements.
