What is Cryopreservation?
Cryopreservation involves freezing reproductive cells or tissues using liquid nitrogen at −196°C. This process halts biological activity and preserves fertility potential for many years.
When needed, the frozen material can be safely thawed and used in assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF.
