Vitrification Device OVDT/OVDC
OVDT - (Thin) is a vitrification device, consisting of a thin strip film firmly attached to a malleable plastic body resistant to liquid nitrogen, which is specially designed for carrying oocytes and embryos during vitrification procedures in all stages of development. The thin strip film provides fast cooling and warming rates and optimizes the outcomes.
OVDC (Curved) is a one-piece vitrification device consisting of a more rigid, transparent, curved tip and a coloured, transparent, malleable plastic body resistant to liquid nitrogen, which is specially designed as well, for carrying oocytes and embryos during vitrification procedures in all stages of development. The rigid curved tip provides easy and safe handling of oocytes and embryos.
Description
OVDT is available in six different colors, OVDC is available in five different colors. Both OVDT and OVDC have a large place for identity information and two markers for indicating the side where the oocytes or embryos are placed, and two markers (one on the tip of the oocyte and embryo loading place and one on the tip of external cover) for easy attachment of the external cover during vitrification procedure. Thanks to their slim bodies they occupy a very small space and allow more sample storage per tank.
Technical
Validation was performed by Embryotools Spain and the cooling and warming rates are shown on the below.
Quality
Co-Founders of Optimas are senior embryologists experienced in the field for more than decades and thus the company takes the advantage of being both the manufacturer and the consumer of the products, which appears to be the best route of a beneficial feed-back. Therefore, end products may be interpreted from the viewpoint of the consumers.
Quality checked one by one, gamma sterilized, tested by MEA and LAL.
