Vitrification Straw Cryoteb Short Handle Model

Vitrification straw ( Cryoteb)

The word “vitrification” comes from the Latin term for glass, vitrum.

In the context of freezing eggs and embryos, vitrification is the process of freezing so rapidly that that the water molecules don’t have time to form ice crystals, and instead instantaneously solidify into a glass-like structure.

Vitrification is a method in which not only cells but also the whole solution is solidified without the crystallization of ice. The vitrification method has advantages over the slow freezing method.

Injuries related to ice is less likely to occur, embryo survival is more likely if the embryo treatment is optimized, and embryos can be cryopreserved by a simple method in a short time and cost effective without a programed freezer.

Cryopreservation of human oocytes and embryos or blastocyts is an important choice in assisted reproductive treatment that leads to an increased cumulative outcome while decreasing other attempts’ costs.
