The CBS™ High Security Sperm Straw with braided plug is designed for the cryopreservation of human sperm. Made from a transparent ionomeric resin that is biocompatible and chemically inert, the straw’s high surface to volume ratio provides improved and homogenous heat exchange over the total volume of the straw. Available in two sizes, High Security Sperm Straws are designed for use with SYMS-type sealers. This fully closed vitrification system eliminates any possibility of cross-contamination to the specimen or its environment.
