We have developed an innovative method of freezing individual sperm cells, and our method is now used in a growing number of places worldwide.
Conventional methods of sperm freezing require it to be frozen in large amounts, between 0.2-1.5 millilitre. In cases where sperm count is low, this can make it difficult to find the sperm cells once thawed.
Our technique resolves this issue by freezing the sperm in a solution of only 1 microlitre! This low volume makes it much easier to locate the valuable yet few sperm cells for their use in IVF.
In difficult azoospermia cases, the top priority is to ensure any recovered sperm is preserved properly. This critical step, if successful, can lead to fatherhood.
