Complete Guide to Oocyte Vitrification UK | Cryolab


Oocyte vitrification is the gold standard egg freezing technique used by IVF clinics across the UK. Using ultra-rapid cooling at -196°C, vitrification achieves post-thaw survival rates of 80-95% — far superior to older slow-freezing methods.


Key equipment for UK IVF labs includes validated vitrification kits such as the CBS HSV Kit, CBS High Security Straws for closed system vitrification, cryogenic storage dewars, and full cryogenic labelling systems for HFEA traceability compliance.


All UK fertility clinics performing oocyte vitrification must be HFEA licensed. Closed vitrification systems are increasingly required under HFEA infection control guidelines.


Cryolab supplies a complete range of vitrification equipment and IVF consumables to fertility clinics and research laboratories across the UK.

Why the Right Vit Kit Changes Everything in the Lab

  Vitrification sits at the heart of assisted reproductive technology, giving embryologists a dependable way to preserve oocytes, embryos and sperm with high survivability after warming. The method is widely recognised as one of the most effective cryopreservation techniques in reproductive medicine, as outlined in general reference sources such as the vitrification overview on Wikipedia:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrification What this really means is that both the method and the equipment must work in harmony.
