How a leading sperm & egg bank secures every life-changing journey with our transport sensor

In the fertility industry, every shipment carries a future. Whether it’s donor sperm, eggs, or embryos, maintaining flawless cryogenic conditions during transport isn’t just important, it’s mission critical. A deviation of a few degrees can mean the loss of irreplaceable genetic material, failed treatments and shattered expectations.

That’s why one of Europe’s most respected sperm and egg banks, operating dozens of cryopreservation transports every single day,turned to our technology to guarantee absolute integrity from departure todelivery.

And the result? Seamless journeys, zero compromise and complete peace of mind.

The challenge: Perfect conditions, zero room for error

Cryogenic transport is a high-stakes environment. Every tank must maintain temperatures close to –196°C, with stand movement, shocks,orientation changes and unpredictable travel conditions, whether across a city or across continents.

Before adopting our solution, the client struggled with:

  • Lack of real-time visibility over tank conditions
  • No reliable traceability over long international journeys
  • Risk  of unnoticed deviations during handling, customs stops or turbulent transport
  • Incomplete data logs due to limited battery life in existing devices

With shipments traveling globally including multiday transport by road, air and sea. The client needed a solution that could document every minute, alert when needed and last the entire journey.

The Solution: A transport sensor for extreme cryogenic logistics

Our new transport sensor was built exactly for challenges like this. It doesn’t just track data, it safeguards the journey with precision monitoring, secure connectivity and long-lasting performance.

Key Capabilities

  • Temperature
       
    • Internal:  –30°C to +70°C
    •  
    • External (probe): –200°C to +100°C — perfect for cryogenic tanks
  •  
  • Light: Detects exposure up to 52,000 Lux — reveals any unauthorized opening.
  • Shock: Important to make sure the samples are intact.
  • Tilt Monitoring: Did you know a tilted cryo tank will not maintain a steady temperature for so long, when compared to a standing tank?
  • Location Tracking: GPS + Wi-Fi for continuous positioning.
  • Movement  Detection: Records even subtle motion.

Smart Data Management

  • Sampling Interval: configurable from 10 minutes
  • Battery Life:
       
    • Up to 120 days (about 4 months) at 120-min transmission
    •  
    • Around 10 days at 10-min transmission
  •  
  • On-Device    Memory:
       
    • Up to 200 days of data
    •  
    • 28,800 recordings (with 10-min logging)

This is the kind of monitoring that fertility logistics have been waiting for: uncompromising, continuous, tamper-proof and reliable.

Use case spotlight: A cryo shipment from Denmark to Japan

To prove performance in real-world conditions, our client tested the sensor on a demanding, long-haul transport:
A 9-day journey from Denmark to Japan, crossing thousands of miles,multiple airports and several handling points.

What the Sensor Recorded

  • Average Temperature: –194.4°C
  • Sampling Interval: Every 30 minutes
  • Total Duration: 9 days
  • No deviations detected
  • Stable tank performance across all legs of the journey

Throughout the entire trip, the fertility team had full visibility from their dashboard, monitoring location, tank orientation and temperature in real time.

But none occurred.

The shipment arrived in Japan with complete integrity,fully documented, fully compliant and without a single minute of uncertainty.

Why fertility centers love this technology
