Cryoport Expands Logistics Services for Reproductive Medicine with The World Egg Bank
LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cryoport, Inc. (OTCBB: CYRX) continues its momentum as leader in advanced logistics services for reproductive medicine with The World Egg Bank (TWEB) using its advanced technology “turnkey logistics solution.” Through its partnership, TWEB employs Cryoport’s cloud-based logistics management software platform (known as the CryoportalTM) complemented by its patented dry vapor Cryoport Express® Shippers and Cryoport’s logistics expertise. TWEB successfully ships their critical customer products in this manner, both domestically and internationally.
In collaboration with TWEB, Cryoport customized its complete data monitoring to TWEB’s specific requirements as well as the use of TWEB’s custom shipping goblet within the Cryoport Express® Shipper. Thus, fully documented “chain-of-custody” and “chain-of-condition” is achieved. This extra care helps ensure the quality, safety, and stability of the shipped specimens.
“Our customers insist on reliability; they rely on us to ensure state of the art technologies for cryopreservation and transportation,” said Diana Thomas, the CEO and Founder of TWEB. “Choosing Cryoport was easy as its services are unique and based on the most advanced technologies. The right global logistics partner is key to our success. Cryoport, with its customer-centric approach to handling our products, has proven that it can reliably maintain and accurately document cryogenic chain of condition for temperatures during shipping. This is critical for specimen integrity and ultimately a successful IVF treatment. Cryoport’s services and patented technologies have now become an integral part of our solutions, both for domestic and international shipments.”
“We are very pleased that The World Egg Bank is using our turnkey logistics solutions for all its shipments of human eggs,” stated Cryoport President and CEO Jerrell Shelton. “Reproductive medicine is important and a fast growing business segment for Cryoport. It requires some of the highest standards in cold chain logistics. Monitoring these cryopreserved specimens for chain-of-condition and chain-of-custody provides our clients with the data for the surety of quality. We are proud of our advanced technology-centric cold chain solutions. We are the only company that provides economic, reliable, effective transportation of reproductive specimens to their intended destinations at constant cryogenic temperatures in a safe, speedy manner.”
