ReproTech has been providing long-term off-site embryo storage since 1990. In fact, RTL was founded for this purpose and still today remains our main focus.
RTL now provides safe and secure long-term reproductive tissue storage for patients from leading clinics all across the nation. Our embryo storage facilities in Florida, Minnesota and Nevada are monitored 24/7 by state-of-the-art Rees monitoring systems which record temperature changes as small as 0.01 degree Celsius. Additionally, all tanks are manually monitored on a weekly basis by our experienced personnel, our facilities are under 24-hour security and surveillance, each facility has on-site back-up bulk nitrogen storage, and all electronic data is backed up daily with data backup stored offsite. Please note that two recent independent publications document the efficacy of off-site embryo storage; 2009 ASRM, 2005 ASRM. When long-term embryo storage is needed, trust your embryos to the leader.
