A subspecialty of the assisted reproductive technologies: cryogenic inventory maintenance

Author: Kathryn J. Go

Published in: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics | Issue 1/2019

Excerpt

Cryopreservation of human embryos and gametes is a subspecialty of the assisted reproductive technologies just as assisted fertilization (ICSI) and preimplantation genetic testing are. While attention has been focused on mastering the most efficacious methods for cryopreserving and warming embryos, the same intensity of focus and energy may not have been universally invested in strategies for storage. …
