Cryopreservation is a popular technique leveraged by medical practitioners for decades. The technique allows doctors to freeze biological materials at extreme temperatures that prohibits any biological activities of the cells. For carrying out cryopreservation, the primary medium used is liquid nitrogen.
For couples seeking to preserve their reproductive materials, this technique lets them freeze eggs, embryos, and sperms that can allow them to carry out in-vitro fertilization. Further, these frozen materials can also be used in Intrauterine Insemination.
If a couple has access to frozen eggs, sperms, or embryos, they can use them in case of the failure of an existing treatment.
