Cryoport, Inc., a global provider of products and services to the cell and gene therapy industry, signed a new three-year supply chain solutions agreement with Monash IVF Group Ltd., a provider of assisted reproductive services, as well as specialist women’s imaging and diagnostic services in Australia and Southeast Asia.
 
Monash IVF has more than 100 locations across Australia. Through this multi-year agreement, Monash IVF and its operating businesses will utilize Cryoport’s cryogenic logistics solutions and ISO-certified risk mitigation process for the delivery of patients’ reproductive materials throughout Australia and internationally. Reproductive materials may be moved from one clinic to another due to costs, a patients’ personal move, access to specific donor materials, for storage purposes and more. 
 
“At Monash IVF, we pride ourselves on bringing together specialists, sonographers, scientists, nurses and counselors who are leaders in their respective fields to deliver the best patient outcomes,” said Michael Knaap, CEO of Monash IVF. “It should come as no surprise that we are equally dedicated to guaranteeing our partners’ commitment to excellence. Cryoport’s expert team and world-class logistics capabilities will provide our patients with the ease of knowing that their reproductive materials are secure throughout the entire shipping process.” 
 
“Monash IVF is Australia’s oldest IVF provider, having achieved the world’s first IVF pregnancy more than 50 years ago,” added Jerrell Shelton, CEO of Cryoport. “To this day, the company remains a prominent leader in the field of fertility services. By joining forces and bringing our solutions and expertise to Monash IVF, we have the opportunity to support many more individuals and families throughout Australia and Southeast Asia in their plans to become parents.”
