The Asymptote Cool Guide to Cryopreservation explains the physical principles underlying cryopreservation in the context of IVF. Particular emphasis is placed on the cryopreservation of embryos, with much of this being applicable to oocytes and blastocysts. The special cases of human spermatozoa and ovarian and testicular tissues are discussed separately.
