Cryopreservation Solutions for Sperm, Embryos, and Oocytes: CBS Straws

 


Cryopreservation plays a vital role in human fertility treatment, animal breeding, and scientific research. To ensure the long-term safety and viability of biological samples, laboratories require storage solutions that are sterile, secure, and dependable. CBS offers a comprehensive range of cryogenic straws designed to meet these needs, including Sterile Clear Sperm Straws, Embryo/Sperm Straws, and High-Security Straws.

CBS Sterile Clear Sperm Straws are specifically developed for the cryopreservation of sperm samples. Available in 0.25ml and 0.5ml sizes, they are manufactured from clear, medical-grade plastic and supplied pre-sterilised. Their transparency allows for straightforward visual inspection, and they are fully compatible with standard laboratory equipment. These straws are widely used in human IVF clinics, animal breeding centres, and research laboratories due to their durability and consistent performance in liquid nitrogen storage.

CBS Embryo/Sperm Straws are ideal for storing smaller volumes of biological material, such as embryos, oocytes, or sperm. Offered in 0.15ml and 0.3ml capacities, they are produced to high clinical standards and are well-suited to applications requiring precision and sample integrity. Their compact design makes them particularly useful across fertility treatment, animal reproduction, and scientific research where secure handling of small sample volumes is essential.

CBS High-Security Straws provide an advanced solution where maximum sample protection is required. Featuring a dual-compartment design separated by a sliding white cotton safety plug, these straws reduce the risk of contamination or leakage. The outer side of the plug is colour-coded for easy sample identification. Available in 0.3ml and 0.5ml sizes, they are compatible with manual SYMS and SYMS III sealers, ensuring a secure and tamper-evident seal. High-Security Straws are a preferred choice in both human and animal reproduction, as well as research environments where maintaining sample integrity is critical.

Together, these three straw types offer flexible and reliable cryopreservation solutions across human fertility, animal breeding, and research applications — supporting professionals in preserving valuable reproductive samples with confidence.
