Requirements for Embryo Donation through the National Embryo Donation Center when your embryos are stored at ReproTech, Ltd.
It is important for you to contact ReproTech, Ltd. (RTL) first prior to making any arrangements to donate your embryos. RTL is able to assist you in determining which programs your embryos may qualify for, as well as eliminate unnecessary or duplicate steps which may occur if RTL is not "in the loop" from the beginning.
RTL has a good working relationship with the NEDC and has helped to facilitate numerous transfers of embryos to their facility to await qualification for donation.
Embryo donors are required to complete a notarized Authorization to Specimen Transfer and Medical Information release prior to the release of the embryos to National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC).
The NEDC will require completion of (among other consents) a three-generation medical/genetic history, a consent to donate, and additional blood testing.
Additional fees may be assessed by RTL if the donor embryos are not shipped within 30 days of the end of your current prepaid storage period. Those fees are assessed at the rate of $106 per quarter, which is the minimum storage period offered by RTL.
Contact RTL if you have any questions or would like to donate your embryos through the NEDC.
