Summary

With the aim of avoiding thermal oscillations to the embryos due to liquid nitrogen injection into the freezing chamber, the authors have developed a straw thermal stabilizer cryopreservation accessory that when adapted to a programmable biological freezer offers a more exact control of the straws temperature and also a greater reproducibility of the freezing process. 2-cell mouse embryos were cooled until seeding at -7 or frozen to -120 deg C. The results show a substantial improvement in cryopreservation with no loss in embryo development due to the seeding procedure.
