Most IVF lab cryogenic failures aren't tank failures. They're system failures:

wrong glove length, undersized vessel, no dipstick, vitrification carriers with no colour coding. Cryolab published a proper breakdown of what the full accessory system should look like. Worth bookmarking if you work in reproductive medicine or lab procurement.

New guide from Cryolab covering cryogenic safety equipment for IVF laboratories.

Gloves in four lengths. Face shields for open handling. Oxygen monitors for storage rooms. Aprons for bulk transfers.

The oxygen depletion risk is the most overlooked nitrogen gas is colourless and odourless. A fixed alarm is the only reliable warning.

Cryolab has published a clinical comparison of vitrification vs slow freezing for IVF laboratories.

Oocyte survival 90%+ with vitrification vs 50–80% with slow freezing. Blastocyst survival 95%+ vs 70–85%. ESHRE 2020 guidelines recommend vitrification for oocytes and embryos. Slow freezing remains standard for sperm banking.

Sex ed should be seen as a valued subject in schools. Sex is a natural thing that occurs between species that engage in sexual reproduction. It shouldn’t be seen as something to be embarrassed by or be ashamed of.

Sex ed helps young people understand their bodies, as well as the bodies of others. It enables them to protect themselves by providing them with useful information about their own anatomy. It teaches them what to look out for so that they don’t get things like: unwanted pregnancies (which may lead to abortion), STDs/STIs, unfulfilling sexual relationships, etc.

Yet, a majority of pro-lifers are against sex education. They view it as something that should only be taught at home. Despite the fact some people’s parents wouldn’t teach it at all or should teach it properly.

Lack of sex ed puts people in many different kinds of danger. It’s something that needs to be discussed more.

For almost two centuries, the moniker “abortionist” has branded those who help terminate pregnancies as illegitimate, dangerous, &, in turn, allowable targets of violence. Before Roe v. Wade, the label turned midwives and doctors into criminals to be cracked down on by the state. After the 1973 decision, right-wing movements continued to deploy the term to ....
