Frozen Egg (Oocyte) Transport
Specialist transport of vitrified oocytes at −196°C. The most fragile reproductive cells — handled with validated dry shippers and full documentation chain of custody.
Why Oocytes Are Different
Human eggs are the most fragile reproductive cells we transport. Vitrified oocytes must be maintained at −196°C from the moment they leave the originating embryologist to the moment they reach the receiving clinic — any temperature excursion risks irreversible damage that can't always be detected until the eggs fail to survive warming.
We work with women transporting their own frozen eggs, fertility preservation patients, and egg donation recipients receiving donor oocytes from licensed UK or international egg banks. Each journey has different regulatory requirements — HFEA Third Party Agreement, current patient consent, and for international transfers, HFEA export licensing.

Most Fragile
Oocytes are more temperature-sensitive than embryos or sperm due to their meiotic spindle structure.
Validated Equipment
We carry oocytes only in medically validated dry shippers at −196°C. Pre-charged and sealed at source.
Consent Verification
We verify that patient consent is current and covers transport to the intended receiving clinic.
Own & Donor Eggs
We transport fertility preservation samples and donor oocytes from licensed UK egg banks.
UK to EU Routes
Post-Brexit HFEA export licensing and Spanish and Greek import requirements handled.
80–90% Survival
Correctly managed transport does not reduce egg survival rates after warming.
If you are receiving donor eggs from a clinic in Spain, Greece or the Czech Republic, the UK HFEA's rules on anonymity and donor limits may differ. Your receiving UK clinic should advise you.
