Method of preparing embryos or blastocysts for cryopreservation

摘要

An automated system and method of preparing oocytes, embryos, or blastocysts for cryopreservation. The method entails delivering two or more solutions into a container holding oocytes, embryos, or blastocysts, and controlling the flow of the solutions to gradually change the concentration of cryoprotectants and dehydrating agents in the container to minimize shock to the oocytes, embryos or blastocysts.
