Kitazato Vitrification Media

Kitazato vitrification media are the most versatile option for cryopreservation in your laboratory.  Increase your efficiency by using the same media for vitrification and warming of oocytes and embryos, in all their stages of development, from zygote stage to blastocyst.

Kitazato media’s composition is entirely synthetic. Among their components, the following are notable: 

• Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) prevents the risk of contamination, increases the survival rate in hatched blastocysts and reduces mechanical stress during warming.

• Trehalose functions as an osmotic agent in place of sucrose. It provides greater safety in the process, improving the protection of the cellular membranes.

• DMSO in combination with ethylene glycol in the media assures less toxicity and the best outcomes after warming. 

• The incorporation of gentamicin prolongs the sterility of the media, guaranteeing greater safety in handling the solutions.
