[1/4] IVF lab procurement note: cryogenic equipment categories are more logical when reviewed together rather than separately. Full guide at cryolab.co.uk
[2/4] On storage vessel selection: headline capacity is less useful than static evaporation rate and neck diameter.
[3/4] The sample organisation layer inside the vessel is where patient safety lives. Goblets → canisters → cryocanes, with cryogenic-rated labels at every level..

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.
