Non-urgent enquiries
For last-minute cases only

We require an administrative fee of €5,000 to proceed.

The first call is free. The fee is only due if you decide to go ahead, and it is deducted in full from the cryopreservation cost. The fee is non-refundable.

What standby is

Standby means dispatching a cryopreservation team to a patient, or a potential patient, so that cooling and the first procedures can begin as soon as legally possible. The longer this is delayed, the more the quality of preservation suffers, so calling us early is the most important thing you can do.

When to call

As early as possible. Call us when someone receives a terminal diagnosis, when a serious condition suddenly gets worse, or when the medical staff start to sound worried. Please don’t wait until the patient is close to legal death.

If you’re unsure whether it’s too early, call anyway. An early call is never a problem for us.
