Ready to Use
Simplifying oocyte and embryo vitrification with precision and ease
By having pre-dispensed solutions in plates, the new high-quality blister pack design effectively minimizes handling and saves on preparation time.
RtU reduces medical waste by minimizing the dispensing process, resulting in cost and inventory reduction.
With Cryotec solutions, a single protocol ensures the safety of oocytes and embryos, promoting standardized lab practices.
The new Cryotec RtU products are designed with the embryologist in mind, offering a stress-free experience with no strict time limits.
Vitrification and warming protocols maximum time is reduced by 5.5 minutes due to the qualities of the new solutions.
We have obtained new clinical data based on 1,041 embryos vitrified and warmed using Cryotec Ready to Use kits across 13 clinics* in Japan between September 2022 and April 2024. This data is compared with a previous set of 1,041 embryos vitrified and warmed using another brand at the same facilities.
Pregnancy rates were evaluated based on the presence of gestational sacs.
The facilities achieved a pregnancy rate of 52.55% with Cryotec Ready to Use compared to 48.99% with another brand, representing a 3.56 percentage point increase in pregnancy rates.
Additionally, the facilities were able to save time on the vitrification and warming procedures due to the qualities of Cryotec Ready to Use products, such as pre-dispensed and highly effective solutions. *The facilities that participated in this study are located across various regions in Japan, including Aichi, Tokyo, Iwate, Miyagi, Toyama, Kyoto, Osaka, Yamaguchi, Hokkaido, Kanagawa, and Fukui. These facilities have chosen to remain anonymous.
The new high-quality blister pack is designed to ensure time saved during preparation and prevents contamination due to minimal handling
Labeled wells with the solution name to avoid mistakes

The right-angled triangle black tip makes it easier to distinguish between sides and to see the tip of the Cryotec for easy capping
Embryologists' work styles have become more diverse and their duties have broadened, which limits the amount of time and man-hours they can spend on work. The new Ready to Use (RtU) products are useful in reducing their workload because the same protocol is used for both embryo and oocyte vitrification. Additionally, having a uniform skill set that can produce consistent results regardless of the operator is essential in the field. I believe that the new product is helping to address these issues while achieving high survival rates.
Immature oocytes such as GV and M1 are very sensitive and challenging to vitrify and warm, but when we use Ready to Use products, we achieve a high survival rate. I am not aware of any other method that can produce such good results. Another attractive feature of this product is the new formula with higher viscosity, which is achieved by using Xanthan Gum. The increased viscosity of the solution makes it easier to create droplets during loading.
Overall, Ready to Use products are gentler on embryos and oocytes, and they also help reduce the cost burden on clinics and facilities. Furthermore, they make it easier to train new employees.
