The TYB which Professor Zavos was instrumental in refining and employing the whole concept, has various qualities that safeguard the sperm during this process among which, it insulates and buffers which prevents injury to the sperm during the dilution and cooling down to refrigeration temperatures. It also provides nutrition to the sperm to preserve its metabolism during this stre
