The droplet is lowered onto a metal block that has been cooled by liquid nitrogen, where it hardens into a glass-like bead. A typical embryo vitrification protocol is complete in about 10 minutes. The frozen embryos are then stored individually in a labelled cane in a liquid nitrogen vessel.
How is vitrification done?
Vitrification is accomplished by mixing waste from Hanford's underground tanks with glass-forming materials in high-temperature melters. As the materials are heated to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, the waste is incorporated into the molten glass. This “liquid glass” is poured into stainless steel canisters to cool.
What is vitrification of embryo?
Vitrification is a technology that is used in the embryo and egg freezing process so that they can be stored for later use. It is a technology that has many uses outside of fertility care with egg and embryo freezing, as it allows something with a crystalline structure to be converted into something very smooth.
