Transport chilled embryos safely and in a controlled manner with this shipper. Thanks to its innovative design and high-quality insulation, this shipping container ensures a stable temperature throughout the entire transport period, thus optimally preserving embryo quality and viability.

• Excellent thermal insulation
  The design minimises temperature fluctuations and ensures embryo quality.
• Durable and reusable
  Made of robust materials for long-term use and reliable performance.
• Compact and efficient design
  The tube-style optimises storage space and makes use easy.
• Proven technology
  Used by vets and breeders worldwide for successful shipments.

Shipping box for embryos

The former Clipper boxes are back in a new look! The same function as before, a different name and exterior! This box offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for transporting chilled horse embryos.

Thanks to the high-quality insulation and radiation barrier, the temperature remains stable even under extreme weather conditions. This ensures safe and controlled shipment of embryos, regardless of the outside temperature.

• Outstanding protection against heat and cold
  The radiant barrier prevents heating from summer heat and maintains cooling in cold conditions.
• Lightweight and practical
  Thanks to its cardboard exterior, the box is sturdy, yet light and easy to handle.
• Suitable for one or two embryos
  Designed to safely transport one or two doses.
• Easy to use
  Clear instructions ensure a trouble-free transport process.

‘We both have a lot of experience in semen analysis and in the reproduction of equine, bovine, porcine and various other species in general,’ says Stéphanie. ‘At IMV, we create innovative, high-quality products, and we support customers in using these products and including them in their processes. We are present in the field to support customers and validate products in real-life conditions. To ensure high quality, we follow a rigorous product validation process in the field.’

How innovative products are developed and field validation works 

Stéphanie is primarily involved in the early stages of new product development. She gathers input from the marketing department or generates ideas based on customer feedback. Then, she works on creating a product. 

‘R&D is like cooking. To create a new cake recipe (e.g.: a semen preservation medium), we can either rely on existing recipes (e.g.: scientific studies published in journals) or start from scratch. We then seek to improve these recipes by adding or changing ingredients, their qualities and quantities. We also collaborate with research institutes to help us develop even more innovative products,’ explains Charlène. 

As an R&D project manager, Stéphanie brings together members from various IMV Technologies departments such as marketing, research and development, supply chain, manufacturing and sales, to build a project team. Together, they work on developing a new idea (e.g., a new semen preservation medium) until proof of concept is achieved. Once this is obtained, field trials are set up with Charlène’s “Field Application” team and partner customers. 

‘We set up and rigorously monitor the field validation trials with our partner customers to simulate real conditions of use,’ Charlène explains. ‘Once the protocol is written, we run the trial, collect the data, analyze it, and use the results to produce scientific articles or marketing materials like flyers.’

Field support 

Customers occasionally encounter difficulties with a product or process. In such cases, the Field Application team, sometimes supported by R&D staff, visits to assist, identify the problem, and work on finding the root cause. 

The problem may be linked to incorrect product usage, poor integration into the process, environmental factors impacting product conditions, lack of employee training, and so on. 

Stéphanie and Charlène visiting the Netherlands! 

Led by our colleague Corine, Stéphanie and Charlène will visit the Netherlands on October 30 and 31. They’re excited to check in with our customers, with a primary focus on equine applications. They hope to gain inspiration and discuss how reproductive methods differ within the country and between countries, as well as explore how our products can be used in different ways. They’re also eager to learn about new needs that can inspire the development of future products and ideas.
