What is Embryo cryopreservation?
: What is Embryo cryopreservation? Embryo cryopreservation is freezing tissue or cells in order to preserve it for the future. With current technology, we can freeze some cells (like sperm and embryos) and small tissue fragments fairly well. Embryo cryopreservation is a means of long-term storage of valuable strains. This technique can be used to safeguard strains of mice or rats from genetic drift, prevent loss due to disease or catastrophe and reduce animal housing costs. Embryos are preserved in a cryoprotectant then slowly frozen. Embryos are then transferred to liquid nitrogen tanks for long-term storage. Embryo cryopreservation is used in infertility programs mainly to freeze and store sperm or to freeze “leftover” embryos from an in vitro fertilization cycle. Advantage of Embryo cryopreservation : Advantage of Embryo cryopreservation Allow maximizing the potential for conception for IVF and prevent wastage of viable normal spare embryos. Perhaps this is the most important advant
