10120 RapidWarm™ Blast

Purpose: Media for warming of vitrified blastocyst stage embryos.

3 x 10 mL

10119 RapidVit™ Blast

Purpose: Media for vitrification of blastocyst stage embryos.

3 x 10 mL

MOPS buffered media

RapidVit and RapidWarm Blast contains hyaluronan for optimal cryosurvival and amino acids to support embryo development. The media are buffered with MOPS to maintain stable pH during the vitrification and warming procedures and are ready to use after warming to +37°C.

Proven success

Numerous publications show that Rapid-i Vitrification System provides excellent outcomes after vitrification of all stages, from oocytes to blastocysts. Independent published studies show that Rapid-i Vitrification System performs equally well as open vitrification systems and provides safe storage. ^1,2
