OVDT is a vitrification device, consisting of a thin strip film firmly attached to a malleable plastic body resistant to liquid nitrogen, which is specially designed for carrying oocytes and embryos during vitrification procedures in all stages of development. The thin strip film provides fast cooling and warming rates and optimizes the outcomes.
Validation was performed by Embryotools Spain and the cooling and warming rates are shown on the left.
OVDC is a one-piece vitrification device consisting of a more rigid, transparent, curved tip and a coloured, transparent, malleable plastic body resistant to liquid nitrogen, which is specially designed as well, for carrying oocytes and embryos during vitrification procedures in all stages of development. The rigid curved tip provides easy and safe handling of oocytes and embryos.
OVDT is available in six different colors, OVDC is available in five different colors. Both OVDT and OVDC have a large place for identity information and two markers for indicating the side where the oocytes or embryos are placed, and two markers (one on the tip of the oocyte and embryo loading place and one on the tip of external cover) for easy attachment of the external cover during vitrification procedure. Thanks to their slim bodies they occupy a very small space and allow more sample storage per tank.
