Asymptote has used its expertise in cryobiology to develop a state-of-the-art range of controlled rate freezers for the cryopreservation of embryos, spermatozoa and stem cells. See our product pages for more details.
The cryopreservation protocols routinely used in IVF are simple and easily achieved in our controlled rate freezers. However, an understanding of the basic principles of cryobiology is desirable to ensure that the methodology is correctly applied and cell damage is minimised during the processes of freezing and thawing.

Follow the link to the Gallery for images and videos of the cryopreservation process. The Gallery also includes images of freeze drying and sugar bloom.
