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.

The HFEA reports over 50,000 IVF cycles per year in the UK. Frozen embryo transfers are growing as a share of successful pregnancies.

Every one of those frozen transfers depends on reliable liquid nitrogen storage infrastructure. Choosing the right dewar is a patient safety decision, not just a procurement one.
