Intended use

SpermFreeze^TM and SpermFreeze^TM SSP are media for cryopreservation of human sperm for further use in Assisted Reproductive Technologies. SpermFreeze^TM can also be used for the cryopreservation of sperm from testicular biopsies (TESE).

SpermFreeze^TM SSP is a more concentrated cryopreservation medium which allows a higher volume of sperm to be cryopreserved:
SpermFreeze^TM requires 0.7-1ml medium for 1ml sperm
SpermFreeze^TM SSP requires 1ml medium for 3ml sperm

SpermFreeze^TM and SpermFreeze^TM SSP are ready-to-use.

Composition

SpermFreeze^TM and SpermFreeze^TM SSP are HEPES-buffered media which also contains physiologic salts, glycine, glucose, lactate, and the cryoprotectants glycerol (15% and 27% for SpermFreeze^TM and SpermFreeze^TM SSP respectively), sucrose and human serum albumin (4.0g/l, medicinal substance derived from human blood plasma) to protect the sperm from damage during the freezing procedure.

Further information on the composition of the media can be found in the material safety data sheet.

Accessories

The SpermFreeze Box (product code: SPF_BOX) can be used in combination with SpermFreeze^TM and SpermFreeze^TM SSP to further standardize the cryopreservation process.
