Vitrification Cryotop®

Kitazato is globally recognised as one of the pioneering brands in driving and improving vitrification. Its greatest contribution in this field has been the development of the renowned Cryotop® Method, the global leader in vitrification of oocytes and embryos, in all stages of development.

The Cryotop® Method is available in 2 versions: vitrification in an open system and a closed system

  • Cryotop® – Open System.

    The original device, globally renowned for its unparalleled Cooling and Warming Rates and its very high survival rates.

  • Cryotop® SC – Closed System.

    The same results and the same protocol with a new sealing for achieving vitrification without direct contact of the specimen with the liquid nitrogen.

CRYOTOP® Closed System

Cryotop® SC continues to obtain the same excellent results as its Open System version. Once again Kitazato offers the best survival rates thanks to its unparalleled Cooling and Warming rates: -3000ºC/minute and 42000ºC/minute respectively.

CRYOTOP® Open System

Achieve the highest survival rates on the market with the Cryotop® Method, the global leader in vitrification of oocytes and embryos in all stages of development.

Vitrification Warming Media

Kitazato media are the most versatile option for cryopreservation in your laboratory. Reduce your costs by using the same media for vitrification and warming of oocytes and embryos, in all their stages of development, from Pronucleus to Blastocyst.

VITROMEDIA

VITROMEDia products are ready to use and with simple protocols, which will reduce work stress and time for embryologists.
