NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX) ("Cryoport" or the "Company"), a leading global provider of innovative products and services to the fast-growing cell and gene therapy industry enabling the future of medicine for a new era of life sciences, today announced that the Company has signed a new three-year supply chain solutions agreement with Monash IVF Group Limited (ASX: MVF), a leading provider of assisted reproductive services, as well as specialist women's imaging and diagnostic services in Australia and Southeast Asia.

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.
