Nitrogen – LN2
Frozen donor egg and sperm straws are placed in a liquid nitrogen-charged, dry shipper tank, which is placed inside a transport box. The tank will keep the contents frozen for up to 12 days. To ensure the correct temperature is consistent an internal logging system monitors the tanks 24/7 during transport.
Frozen donor eggs and sperm must be stored in the nitrogen tank until use or be moved to another liquid nitrogen tank when it arrive at the clinic.
