    Documents and approvals

    We contact both clinics or labs, confirm consent and paperwork, and arrange any import or export permits.

    Shipper preparation

    We charge a dry shipper with liquid nitrogen and check its temperature before it leaves us.

    A trained courier collects and signs for the material. Loggers record temperature and location throughout.

    Delivery and records

    The receiving team checks and signs for the material. You receive the chain-of-custody record and the temperature log.

Safety and compliance
