Vitrolife is committed to improving

pregnancy rates. This is why we provide an
unbroken chain of quality products, securing
the results in every step during the whole
IVF-treatment. Only Vitrolife can guarantee
every link in this chain. With equally devoted
clinics we reach success. Together. All the
way.
The ability to culture viable embryos involves
more than simply using appropriate culture
media. There is a chain of variables and events
that can have an impact on the outcome of an
IVF cycle and they all need to be taken into
account in order to optimise pregnancy rates.
Precautions have to be taken at every step
to prevent toxic or harmful components from
entering the culture system.
Our mission is to always provide the best
possible environment for gametes and embryos,
based on current scientific understanding
and the needs of your clinic. We encourage
initiatives for changes and are open to innovative
solutions.

G-Series
Optimising embryo development in a protective in vitro environment.
By using the entire G-Series from aspiration to
transfer you can be confident you are providing
the best for the embryo in every step.

Vitrolife Product Catalogue June 2012

Every product in the G-Series is developed

to resemble the different conditions of the
female reproductive tract and fulfill embryo
requirements.

Rapid- Vitrification System

Safe and simple vitrification.
Rapid-i is a closed vitrification system developed
to make vitrification safe and simple. Embryos
are placed it in a minute volume of vitrification
solution in a hole on the Rapid-i Kit and held
there by surface tension. The low volume of
solution secures appropriate cooling and
warming rates. The Rapid-i holding the embryos
is in turn placed in a pre-cooled RapidStraw
secured inthe Smartbox filled with liquid

nitrogen. Thisunique feature of the Rapid-i

Vitrification System means that vitrification
actually takes place in super-cooled air reducing
contamination risks. The straw is sealed after
vitrification, making the critical time frames of the
dehydration steps easier to keep and creating an
aseptic vitrification process, without any contact
between vitrified material and liquid nitrogen.

embryoglue
Implantation promoting medium for increased take-home baby rate.
EmbryoGlue is the most well-documented
implantation medium with proven effect in IVF.
Data presented at ESHRE 2011 showed that
the use of EmbryoGlue signicantly increased
take-home baby rate compared to the control
group, regardless of day of transfer1. A recent
meta-analysis from the independent Cochrane
Collaboration also shows that when EmbryoGlue
was used for transfer the clinical pregnancy

Vitrolife Product Catalogue June 2012

rate was signicantly increased from 41% to

50% compared to when a conventional culture
medium with low or no hyaluronan was used.
The same study showed that the use of
EmbryoGlue resulted in no adverse events2.

OVOIL
Let OVOIL protect your culture system.
OVOIL has been used for more than a decade in
embryo culture and is well known for its LOT-to-LOT
consistency. OVOIL contains 100% paraffin oil
of highest quality with proven excellent embryo
development.

Sense
Aspiration the way it should be.
A successful follicle aspiration needs to be
fast, precise and retrieve the maximal amount of
undamaged oocytes without complications. It is
a critical procedure involving a lot of anxiety for
the patient, which also needs to be taken care
of. This requires a special tool. We call it the new
way of aspiration. We call it Sense.
