TMRW is a fertility technology company modernizing the management and storage of frozen eggs and embryos. We created the world’s first automated platform for the safe storage and management of frozen eggs and embryos, delivering peace of mind to clinics, doctors, embryologists and patients with cutting-edge technology that helps reduce the risk of specimen mix-up and loss.

TMRW’s technology is currently being utilized in fertility clinics across the country and is quickly becoming the standard of care for storing and managing your precious cells. 

A biorepository is a facility that catalogs, stores and maintains biological specimens – in this case, your eggs and embryos. The purpose of a biorepository is to store and cryogenically maintain (at extremely low temperatures) these specimens, often on a long-term basis. 

Since our launch, we’ve obsessively rebuilt storage from the ground up, with the highest bar for safety for frozen egg and embryo management and storage. We’ve created and are committed to a standard for identifying, tracking, monitoring, and storing frozen specimens that goes well beyond what is required today. 

TMRW is committed to delivering safety, security and peace of mind with...

Each cryo-device is assigned an RFID tag, a unique digital identifier, and then safely stored in one of our CryoRobots.

Your specimens are stored in a TMRW CryoBeacon, a cryogenic container that is unique to you and no other patient’s specimens will be stored in the same CryoBeacon(s). These containers are stored in a large storage tank that stores multiple CryoBeacons that hold other patients’ specimens, which is standard industry practice.

Should you wish to send your fertility specimens back to a fertility clinic for treatment, simply notify TMRW and we will initiate the transfer process. The TMRW team will help you coordinate the shipment, safely prepare your specimens for transfer, and track  your specimens until they reach your fertility clinic. 

It is recommended you provide us with at least 30 days notice before your scheduled
treatment cycle to ensure the shipment can arrive at your fertility clinic before your scheduled treatment dates. 

You have full control of the disposition of your legally owned specimens1. If you would like to terminate storage, we have a few options for you. 

Storage Termination Options: 

Elect to discard

TMRW will send you a Disposition Request for you to sign and notarize. Once this is completed, TMRW’s team will execute your decision to remove your specimens from storage and permanently discard them. 

Elect to donate specimens to another individual or family

There are various state and federal legal requirements to donate your specimens to an individual or family. A licensed and authorized donor agency and/or an attorney specializing in fertility donation can help you execute a legal agreement to donate your specimens to another individual or family for the purpose of attempting pregnancy. Once you have completed necessary legal requirements for donation and send us the relevant documentation as well as an instruction to transfer the ownership of the specimens, TMRW can execute the legal instructions to transfer the ownership of the specimens to the receiving party or donor agency as specified in the instructions provided by you.

Elect to donate specimens to research or training

If you choose to donate your specimens to research or training the process typically involves signing legal consent forms and selecting a legally authorized research program or training program. Once you’ve identified a legally authorized research or training facility or a clinic and signed a necessary form instructing TMRW to transfer your specimens to such research or training facility or a clinic, TMRW can execute such transfer.
