New media composition
FreezeKit Cleave* and ThawKit Cleave* have been developed for freezing and thawing of pronuclear oocytes and cleavage stage embryos.
*US only: For freezing and thawing of pronuclear (2PN) and cleavage stage embryos.
Time-saving and convenient
FreezeKit Cleave and ThawKit Cleave make the whole slow freezing procedure faster and more convenient. With fewer steps compared to the current protocol they save time, reduce operator variability and simplify the training process.
Most importantly, embryos are exposed to less stress with the fewer steps and shorter handling times.


Significantly higher blastomere survival
Two clinics in Sweden made a pre-clinical, randomised comparison of FreezeKit Cleave and ThawKit Cleave with an existing commercial product for freezing of cleavage-stage embryos.
The primary endpoint was blastomere survival rate. A statistically significant difference in blastomere survival was seen between the two methods.

Scientific summaries
English
New formulations of slowfreezing solutions for cleavage stage embryos result in outcomes similar to after vitrification
Document and Ref: A study by Fang et al, found that FreezeKit Cleave and ThawKit Cleave significantly improved survival rates, clinical pregnancy rates and implantation rates. In fact, a survival rate of above 90% using the new formulations of solutions is very similar to that obtained after vitrification.
