Cryos is the world’s largest sperm and egg bank. From our departments in Denmark, Cyprus, and US, we ship donor sperm and eggs to more than 100 countries worldwide. It all started in Aarhus, Denmark, back in 1981, and though many years have passed, the vision remains the same: to help people make their dream of having a child come true.
What we do at Cryos
At our sperm bank locations (Denmark, Cyprus, and US), Cryos collects sperm donations from men who wish to help others make their dream of having a child come true. The sperm is then processed in the lab to ensure a high-quality product ready to use in fertility treatment. We have specialized in cryopreservation of sperm, which means the sperm is frozen and safely stored in a nitrogen tank at -196 °C.
In 2015, Cryos furthermore established the first free standing fully independent frozen egg bank in the United States. And we now also have an egg bank in Cyprus. At our egg bank locations, we collect donor eggs from young, healthy women who want to help others. The eggs are then frozen and kept safe until used in ICSI treatment.
As an egg and sperm bank, Cryos does not perform fertility treatments – but we have a large network of top-performing fertility clinics that do. Via our online Donor Search, clinics and private persons can purchase the donor sperm and eggs and have it delivered to a clinic or healthcare professional – or order donor sperm for home insemination in countries where this is allowed.
Altogether, we are more than 260 employees working across many functions, including Lab, IT, Logistics, Sales, Customer Care, Marketing, Business Intelligence, Finance, Project Management, HR, Quality, Legal and Genetics.
