How Cryoport Systems’ Shipping Systems Secure the Reproductive Material Transport
Cryoport Systems understands how overwhelming it can be to entrust your precious reproductive materials to a shipping provider. While transporting reproductive materials from storage or a clinic can seem like an impossible task, we’re here to provide answers and support throughout the entire journey.
Cryoport Systems’ trusted supply chain solutions and a team of experts work with your clinical professionals to compliantly transport materials worldwide through our industry-leading shipping systems, secure transport services, and unrivaled documentation processes. Let’s explore how our shipping systems are prepped and ready to safely house your precious materials from packaging to the final destination.
Expert Shipping Systems to Swaddle Your Materials in Certainty
Transport safety starts before your materials are picked up from your clinic or storage. The dependability of the shipping system in which reproductive materials are housed is the first step towards ensuring a smooth and safe delivery. Cryoport Systems is the industry leader in advanced shipping systems across the life sciences industry. Our reproductive medicine clients can trust our Cryoport Express® line of shipping systems to swaddle reproductive materials with certainty throughout the journey.
The Cryoport Express® line encompasses liquid nitrogen dry vapor units charged before each use to ensure they sustain housed materials at a minimum holding temperature of -150°C. These shippers are trusted to keep materials safe and at-temperature for up to 10 days, making them perfect for domestic and international journeys. The Cryoport Express® line is made with durable stainless steel that can withstand the wear and tear of the transport process. Once your materials are safely packaged, Cryoport Systems goes further with our one-patient-per-shipper policy for specified orders. This means that your materials will never be placed alongside materials from a separate order. A Cryoport Express® shipper is assigned to you and only you, which negates delivery confusion for a trusted and streamlined delivery.
Squeaky Clean Confidence with Veri-Clean and Requalification
All our shipping systems and stainless-steel accessories are reusable. However, being eco-friendly doesn’t come at the risk of materials being placed in a less than perfect shipping container. Cryoport Systems has devised a cleaning system and requalification process unlike any other provider across the life sciences. Veri-Clean® is the industry’s first and only cleaning and disinfection process that ensures our shipping systems and stainless-steel accessories are containment-free post-delivery and in working condition alongside our requalification process.
Before your reproductive materials are placed inside a Cryoport Express® shipper, it undergoes our validated cleaning and disinfection procedure, Veri-Clean®. Veri-Clean’s® disinfectant and cleaning process reduces external contaminants by 99.9999% to eliminate external environmental flora such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This process is supported by a third-party accredited laboratory and is the only disinfectant procedure of its kind throughout the life sciences industry. This means that no other transport provider comes close to certifying the cleanliness of their shipping systems in comparison to Cryoport Systems.
We then take certainty a step further with our requalification process. This process ensures that all shippers throughout all lines are fully charged, can maintain their minimum hold time, and are externally free of damage. In conjunction with our Veri-Clean® process, our requalification procedure is the first line of defense for total risk mitigation. While other providers reuse their shipping lines without robust cleaning and requalification processes, Cryoport Sytems provides prospective parents peace of mind with our above and beyond ability to certify that our shippers are in perfect condition even before your materials are placed inside.
ISO Compliance Adherence that Meets the Highest Industry Standards
The life sciences industry saw a revolutionary change in 2020. Alongside Cryoport Systems’ subject matter experts, the ISO/TC 276 Biotechnology Technical Committee established ISO 21973 – general requirements for transportation of cells for therapeutic use. This standard details the best practices supply chain providers need to establish to ensure end-to-end precision and traceability for the secure storage and transport of cell and gene therapy (CGT) materials. While ISO 21973 was written specifically for the CGT market, the requirements it outlines are universal to safeguard gametes and embryos across the supply chain. Cryoport Systems has implemented ISO 21973 practices throughout all our platform services that support our reproductive medicine clients and the transport of their materials.
Implementing ISO 21973 into our standard practices provides a risk-mitigating guidebook to securing your precious materials. Our shipping systems, Veri-Clean® and requalification processes, and transport standard operating procedures use ISO 21973 as the basis for compliance, meaning that every step in preparing for a shipment is backed by and documented through the life science industry’s most rigorous standard. While our use of ISO 21973 brings you peace of mind about the secure nature of our supply chain, your clinical professionals also gain certainty in Cryoport Systems’ ability to ensure your materials’ maintained validity from storage to transport. This level of security is unmatched by other transport providers throughout the reproductive medicine industry and takes Cryoport Systems’ services above and beyond what other providers of reproductive material transport can offer.
