What is gamete transport?
Gamete transport is the service of transporting biological material, such as eggs, sperm, and embryos, between fertility clinics and patients who need this material to undergo in vitro fertilization treatment.
Why is gamete transport important?
Gamete transport is important because many patients need biological material from one fertility clinic to another, either to undergo treatment in another city or country or to receive donor biological material.
How is gamete transport done?
Gamete transport is typically done through a specialized delivery service for biological material, which uses thermal bags to keep the biological material at a constant temperature. The transport can be carried out by plane, car, or motorcycle, depending on the distance between clinics.
How long does gamete transport take?
The time it takes to transport gametes varies depending on the distance between clinics, the location, and the availability of the delivery service. Generally, the time ranges from a few hours to one or two days.
What types of biological material can be transported?
The types of biological material that can be transported include eggs, sperm, and embryos. Some delivery services can also transport blood and semen samples, depending on the purpose of the transport.
