What is the vitrification or freezing of embryos?
The freezing of both ovules and embryos is done by an ultrafast freezing technique called vitrification. This method has many advantages with respect to slow freezing, which was the technique used until the discovery of vitrification. Among them, the high survival rates after devitrification and freezing time stand out. The cryopreservation of ovules and embryos is allowed by Spanish law and is a basic tool in assisted reproduction. Thanks to it, embryos can be preserved for later use, both for own treatment and for donation to other couples or research projects.
