CCRM Secure
When it comes to fertility care, every detail matters. CCRM Secure is our network-wide initiative that involves highly secure technology and follows some of the strictest lab standards and protocols to ensure your frozen eggs, sperm, and embryos are safe and protected.

Frozen embryo, sperm, and egg storage
CCRM’s advanced technologies and strict lab protocols provide the best possible environment for your cryopreserved specimens:
- All incubators and storage tanks have 24/7 monitoring
- Alarms and bulk storage tanks have generator outlets and backup batteries
- Small storage tanks are manually checked daily and refilled appropriately
- Backup storage tanks contain extra liquid nitrogen if embryos need to be moved to another tank
Frozen egg, sperm, and embryo tracking
CCRM’s IVF process includes a double-witnessing approach; two embryologists verify that all materials match before moving samples or performing critical procedures such as ICSI or frozen embryo transfer.
- CCRM is the first IVF network in the U.S. to implement the electronic witnessing system, Matcher, which is an additional witness and safeguard to help avoid mismatch errors.
- CCRM also partners with TMRW Life Sciences for off-site storage; two state-of-the-art biorepositories located in New York, NY and Boulder, CO deliver peace of mind that long-term eggs and embryos are stored securely.
