How is frozen semen shipped?
Frozen semen is stored and shipped in liquid nitrogen. There are two types of shippers, dry and wet. The most commonly used is the vapor shipper (dry) which maintains its charge for a short amount of time, a week to two weeks depending on the model. These shippers are popular for their lighter weights and non-hazardous shipping status. They require up to 24 hours of preparation to ensure optimal performance before loading for shipping.
