Understanding the Thawing Process

Embryo thawing is a delicate process that involves returning the embryo to physiological temperature and replacing the cryoprotectant with intracellular water to reactivate biological activity. This process varies depending on whether vitrification or slow freezing was used. Vitrification is a rapid freezing technique that prevents ice crystal formation, typically resulting in higher survival rates, while slow freezing involves a gradual cooling process.
