Interesting.  I'd heard of frozen sperm being viable when thawed of course, but had never heard that sperm that is just chilled can be viable.

yeah, you can buy the kit at CAN AM Cyroservices. it comes with styrofoam container, the ice pack, and the transport medium (egg yolk buffer).

it is normally used to ship donor sperm overnight via FED-EX. I won't be using FED-EX as it would take 23 hours, so, I will take my hubbys sample on a 6 hour plane ride.

I didn't know you could do that, but what am I, an endocrinologist?  Let the professionals be your guide.
