International Embryo Transport
Hand-carry transport at −196°C, cabin carry only, with complete chain of custody documentation. Your embryos deserve care, not logistics.
Why Embryos Need Specialist Care
Your embryos are not freight. They are the result of IVF cycles, hormone injections, clinic appointments, and years of hope. Every Embryo Links courier carries them with exactly that understanding — as a personal responsibility, not a job.
We hand-carry embryos in validated cryogenic dry shippers at −196°C, always in the aircraft cabin and never in the cargo hold. Our couriers hold UN3373 qualification and we coordinate and track all clinic-to-clinic logistical paperwork, support Third Party Agreement preparation and — for international transfers — liaise with clinics on export licensing requirements.
We specialise in UK–EU and UK–Iran routes, and transport embryos to over 30 countries. Every transfer receives WhatsApp updates at collection, departure, arrival and delivery.

−196°C Continuous
Validated cryogenic dry shippers with 10-day hold times maintain temperature from clinic to clinic — no interruption, ever.
Cabin Carry Only
Your embryos fly in the aircraft cabin with our courier — never in the hold. This is non-negotiable, every time.
Complete Documentation
No X-Ray letters, airline approvals, customs release documents, and chain of custody records coordinated for every job.
X-Ray Avoidance
Full airport security letters and manual inspection requests at every departure — established protocols at all major UK and EU hubs.
Dual-Witness Protocol
Two independent witnesses verify embryo identity at both collection and delivery. Chain of custody is complete and unbroken.
Live Updates
Collection confirmed, en route, arrived, delivered. You always know where your embryo is.
UK-created embryos exported to EU clinics now need HFEA authorisation — a process that typically takes 4–8 weeks. We guide you through this and coordinate with your clinic's regulatory team, but start early. Contact us early if international export authorisation is required.
How It Works
Consultation & Planning
We liaise with both clinics, track documentation requirements, and coordinate all transport paperwork — Third Party Agreements, shipping manifests and export documentation.
Clinic Collection
Our courier arrives with a pre-charged dry shipper. Embryo identity is verified using dual-witness protocol with the releasing embryologist before anything moves.
Cabin Transport
The courier carries the sealed dry shipper through security with manual inspection, boards the flight, and keeps the vessel with them — no hold, no exceptions.
Delivery & Handover
The dry shipper is handed directly to the receiving embryologist. Dual-witness verification completes the chain of custody. You receive your delivery confirmation.
