New cryostorage labware developed for the embryology laboratory significantly extends the response time in cases of temperature excursions while handling cryopreserved specimens at ambient conditions compared to traditional cryostorage canes and goblets

Changes in temperature while handing samples during vitrification and cryostorage is an important variable for safety and efficacy. The vessels used to house and handle samples may have an impact on the amount of temperature change as well as the rate of change.
