Vitrification (Hands-On) Training

Vitrification (Hands-On) Training

Vitrification has been a game-changer in IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). Unlike traditional slow freezing, it enables ultra-rapid cooling of oocytes or embryos, preventing the formation of damaging ice crystals. Our intensive, skill-oriented training program is designed for Embryologists and IVF laboratory professionals seeking in-depth expertise in embryo cryopreservation techniques. The course provides detailed understanding into vitrification protocols, laboratory best practices, and hands-on sessions under expert guidance, enhancing both proficiency and confidence.

A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to participants who successfully complete the course requirements.

Gain an understanding of cryobiology, and the science behind ultra-rapid cooling. Learn about the composition, function, and safe handling of cryoprotective agents used in oocyte and embryo vitrification. Familiarize with step-by-step procedures for vitrifying oocytes, cleavage-stage embryos, and blastocysts. Adopt best practices for thawing vitrified samples while preserving viability.
