Abstract:
The effect of addition of maternal serum to cryomedium on the phase-change temperature for embryo cryopreservation has been investigated. No effect on the eutectic point (i.e., earliest seeding temperature) was found within patients because of serum concentration or the time in the ovarian cycle when the serum was collected. However, the optimum seeding temperature did vary between patients, which suggests that self-seeding devices for embryo cryopreservation may be practically beneficial.
