Vitrification

What Is

Vitrification?

Vitrification is the technology created to rapidly freeze embryos, sperm, or eggs so that they can be preserved for later use. It involves cooling the cells in such a way that damaging ice crystals do not form.

Embryos frozen by vitrification are found to have better survival rates and are more likely to produce a successful pregnancy.
