General Standards

Standard storage fees apply when required tests—such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C—are non-reactive. If results are reactive, or if testing is incomplete, your specimens can still be accepted under our Potentially Infectious storage program, which carries different fees. Donor eggs and sperm require additional FDA-mandated testing which can be provided by your clinic or the bank where you purchased the donor specimens.

About Potentially Infectious Storage

Reprotech offers specialized storage for specimens from customers who have tested reactive for communicable diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B or C, Syphilis or other diseases which your clinic feels may impact their storage. To prevent any risk of cross-contamination, these specimens are handled separately—from shipping through long-term storage in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen. We use a dedicated fleet of shipping tanks safe transport, with prepayment of shipping fees arranged in advance. If you may need this service, please contact Reprotech prior to your cycle or retrieval so we can set up your account and coordinate with your clinic.
