Ovarian Tissue, Testicular Tissue and Egg Storage

What are the options available for women who have to undergo treatments that can render her infertile?

Break-throughs in (Assisted Reproductive Techniques) ART are allowing women to freeze their eggs or ovarian tissue prior to treatments. Fertility specialists, Reproductive Endocrine surgeons, can retrieve pieces of ovarian tissue, freeze them carefully, then transfer the tissue to the woman when treatments are finished. A specialist, before the start of chemotherapy/radiation or surgery, could also obtain eggs.

Men can also preserve their fertility by having testicular tissue retrieved, frozen and cryopreserved by a Urologist and then stored with XTS.

XTS has 30 years of experience in the field of cryoperservation and careful storage of reproductive tissues through its parent company, Xytex International. XTS can fulfill the long-term storage requirements of these reproductive tissues; XTS will keep them safe and secure in tanks of liquid nitrogen with alarm systems until the transfer to the physician is requested.

Please call for further details concerning your tissue storage requirements.

Tank Rentals

XTS offers a "Tank Rental" service. This allows you to have your specimens shipped from one location to another. Many facilities do not have the necessary shipping dewars to be able to fulfill this need. XTS will send you the necessary forms (click here for Tank Rental Agreement), explain the three way shipping process and communicate with the facilities involved. Timing is of the essence when shipping your reproductive tissues; therefore, XTS is careful to have consent from each facility so that the tank receipt and transfer will take place in an efficient manner. The cost for this service is $525.00 plus a $700 refundable deposit on return of Dewar.
