FAIRFAX, Va., March 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For
over 30 years, Fairfax Cryobank has been providing long-term
storage of reproductive specimens including frozen sperm, eggs, and
embryos. With extensive expertise transporting samples to and from
physician practices in all 50 states and internationally, embryos,
sperm and eggs are safely transferred to a state of the art storage
facility.
"Our storage freezers are designed for long-term storage with
multiple safeguards in place to monitor and maintain the liquid
nitrogen levels and temperature," explains Director of Client
Development, Michael Buuck. "The
storage tanks are connected to supply tanks and monitored by a
validated alarm system with experienced staff on call 24/7. Routine
checks are performed, documented, and verified to ensure all
systems are working properly and to assure the safe keeping of the
frozen embryos, sperm, and eggs."
When asked to comment about the security of the storage system,
Laboratory Director Michelle Ottey
said, "Our staff monitors all storage tanks daily, this includes
visual inspections, tank level measurements, electronic temperature
measurements, documentation of these inspections, and verification
by a supervisor. On days when the lab is closed, our staff would be
called if our electronic system detects an out of range reading.
Our monitoring systems have 7 day battery back up in case of power
failure and we test the call out feature weekly."
Edie J., who stored her embryos at Fairfax Cryobank, says, "We
used IVF over 2 years ago and chose Fairfax as the place to house our remaining
embryos. They were recommended by our IVF clinic as being skilled
and responsible in cases of longer term storage. As costly as IVF
and infertility treatments are, success is the most important
factor. I'm glad that we used them for our storage needs."
Fertility clinics focus on providing excellent care for their
patients resulting in healthy babies. Frozen embryos created during
these fertility procedures are often placed in tanks designed for
short term or temporary storage. Fairfax Cryobank alleviates the
need for clinics to store specimens for extended periods of time by
providing safe and reliable long-term storage services.
A storage client stated, "I actually feel relieved that we have
our embryos at Fairfax Cryobank, where their primary job is
storage."
