Kitazato

Kitazato is an international leader in the research, development, and manufacture of medical and biotechnological products for assisted reproduction. One of the Japanese company’s largest contributions to the field has been the development of The Cryotop® Method, which popularized the revolutionary technique of vitrification of oocytes and embryos and secured its implementation at a global level. During the last decade, thousands of professionals have placed their trust in the fantastic results offered by The Cryotop® Method, making it the undisputed market leader in cryopreservation of human gametes.

  • The Kitazato Cryotop® is a vitrification device for use in the storage of human oocytes and embryos. The device itself consists of a fine strip of transparent film attached to a plastic handle. Specimens with a minimum volume of 0.1 µl can be loaded into the device for vitrification. Cooling and warming rates of -23,000 ºC/minute and 42,000 ºC/minute respectively can be achieved by using the Cryotop® device, leading to superior oocyte and embryo survival rates.
