Developmental rates after vitrification were significantly better for embryos vitrified using the cryoloop compared to those vitrified using OPS. Hamster oocytes were also successfully vitrified ...

Vitrification is currently the preferred method of cryopreservation of oocytes. Although the number of births resulting from the use of cryopreserved eggs is relatively small and long-term follow ...

oocytes, only two papers presented data with closed-system vitrification, these data were seriously compromised compared with those presented in 23 publications referring to the use of open systems.

The techniques in Panels A and B can also be combined, with ovarian-tissue cryopreservation followed by controlled ovarian stimulation and vitrification of oocytes. The combined technique ...

Egg vitrification is often used by large donor egg programs. The availability of frozen-thawed donor oocytes makes it possible to guarantee anonymous donation and continuous care without the need ...

“success rates with oocyte cryopreservation via either slow-freeze or vitrification appear to decline with maternal age consistent with the clinical experience with fresh oocytes.” Some ...

Before freezing, a process called vitrification is used to replace bodily fluids with cryoprotectants to prevent ice crystal formation, which could damage cells. Though the idea sounds like ...
