Vitrification and Warming Media
|
The revolutionary device by Kitazato has been applied in over 1,500,000 clinical cases for oocytes and embryos with this method of cryopreservation during the last decade, obtaining excellent results in over 90 countries and 2,200 assisted reproduction centres. The Cryotop® method is simple, safe, universal and easy to apply for everyone. |
The composition of the Kitazato media is entirely synthetic. Among the components, the following are notable:
- Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) prevents the risk of contamination, increases the rate of survival in hatched blastocysts and reduces mechanical stress during warming.
- Trehalose functions as an osmotic agent in place of sucrose. It provides greater safety in the process, improving the protection of the cellular membranes.
- The incorporation of gentamicin prolongs the sterility of the media, guaranteeing greater safety in handling the solutions.
The VT601 Vitrification media allow up to 5 procedures to be carried out and consist of:
- 1.5 ml Basic Solution vial (BS)
- 1.5 ml Equilibrated Solution vial (ES)
- 2 x 1.5 ml Vitrification Solution vial (VS)
The VT602 Thawing media allow up to 4 procedures to be carried out and consist of:
- 2 x 4 ml Thawing Solution vial (TS)
- 4 ml Diluent Solution vial (DS)
- 4 ml Washing Solution vial (WS)
All vitrification media must be kept between 2ºC and 8ºC.
VT601 and VT602 have a shelf life of 12 months.
