Vitrification offers several advantages over conventional freezing methods:
Absence of Ice Crystals: The primary advantage is the absence of ice crystals, which preserves the ultrastructure of tissues. High Viability: Vitrified tissues and cells often show higher post-thaw viability, making them more useful for various applications. Versatility: This method can be applied to a wide range of tissues and cell types, including embryos, oocytes, and organ tissues.
