VitriFreeze – VitriThaw
Description
VitriFreeze and VitriThaw media are sets of cell culture media designed for the vitrification and thawing of morula and blastocyst stage human embryos.
We also have a set of vitrification media for 2PN to 8-cell stage embryos: VitriFreeze ES and VitriThaw ES.
Our vitrification media can be used with the aseptic HSV® vitrification device (Cryo Bio Systems), amongst other vitrification devices.
Product specifications
Compounds such as ethylene glycol (EG) have been shown to penetrate cells rapidly, forming glass during cooling of aqueous solutions (Palasz and Mapletoft 1996). EG and water form clusters of hydrogen bonds in such a way that the water molecules are tightly bound to the cryoprotector, resulting in a lowered mobility and higher viscosity of the solution.
