Japan Mizuho Reproductive Center, leveraging international medical collaboration resources, provides clients with relevant needs with cross-border transfer feasibility assessments, communication with medical institutions, and professional transport coordination support.

01 / Preliminary Assessment

Cross-border transfer begins with a rigorous preliminary assessment

Different countries and regions have different regulations on the storage, use, and cross-border transfer of human embryos. Even if embryos have already been cryopreserved, this does not mean they can be directly transported to any destination.

Before formally arranging transfer, it is necessary to confirm whether the original storage institution permits the release of samples, whether the target medical institution has the conditions to receive them, and whether relevant legal and medical requirements can be met.

At the same time, embryo cryopreservation records, sample identification, storage methods, relevant medical materials, and necessary informed consent documents should be verified.

For cross-border medical clients, adequate preliminary communication helps reduce plan delays caused by missing documents, inconsistent standards, or approval issues.

02 / Transport Coordination

Professional cold chain and transport process coordination

Embryos have strict requirements for the storage environment, and inter-institutional transfer usually needs to be undertaken by professional transport service providers with relevant experience and conditions.

Depending on the actual storage method, cryopreserved embryos generally need to be transported under appropriate deep low-temperature conditions. During transport, attention should be paid to container performance, sample identification, transport records, and handover management.

Mizuho can, according to the needs of specific projects, assist clients in communicating with the original storage institution, target receiving institution, and relevant service providers, and coordinate matters such as transport timing, document verification, sample handover, and receipt confirmation.

03 / Prudent Entrustment

Treat every entrusted life with a prudent attitude

Embryo transfer involves professional technology, medical ethics, and personal privacy, and every step should be based on clear operating standards and full informed consent.

Cross-border transport may be affected by factors such as policy changes, customs requirements, flight arrangements, and medical institution acceptance standards, so time and potential risks need to be reasonably assessed.

Mizuho values details and information transparency in every transfer plan, assists clients in understanding relevant conditions and actual arrangements, and supports the connection between international reproductive medical resources with a professional and prudent service attitude.
