Cryoshuttle®: Delivering Last Mile Certainty for Fertility Clinics

Many third-party courier providers are expanding their supply chain transport service options to include courier vans for the local transport of sensitive reproductive materials to support deliveries. However, some third-party transport systems lack the robust risk mitigation services required to ensure that sensitive materials are transported from clinic to clinic with total care in mind. Without total adherence to safety standards and specially trained personnel to assist with these deliveries, clinics could be leaving the viability of their temperature-sensitive commodities up to chance when utilizing these third-party services.  

Cryoport Systems understands how important the safe and secure handling of your patients’ and donor materials is for fertility clinics. As the only system within the reproductive medicine industry of its kind, our Cryoshuttle® service enables the expedited delivery of materials in a Cryoport Sytems’ shipper to clinics, laboratories, and hospitals at a cost-effective rate to bring peace of mind in the sustained integrity of irreplaceable commodities.
