Freezing of Embryo is the process that provides the benefit of storing embryos for later use. An individual can consider the freezing process on eggs that are not yet fertilized. Embryo Freezing is involved in In Vitro Fertilization, where eggs from the woman’s ovary are particularly removed and further combined with sperm in the laboratory for creating the Embryos. Moreover, the generated Embryos are further stored with the help of freezing to later use in the woman’s uterus from pregnancy.
The main motive of freezing is to protect the Embryos for further use. While performing a Freezing the main challenge and difficulty faced by the persons is regarding the liquid present in the cell. When the freezing of cells is performed, there are high chances that several crystals will form in the liquid and will burst the cells. To prevent the cell from bursting the Cryopreservation technique is used by the doctors where the liquid present in the cells is replaced by the Cryopreservation.
The overall freezing of the Embryo can be performed with the help of two different methods. The methods are further described below for your better understanding:

• Slow Freezing– This freezing method is considered a slow process as the freezing is done at a low temperature and can be highly time-consuming. In addition, the embryos are placed in the sealed tubes to prevent the cells from aging. It also reduces the risk of getting damaged the cells. Moreover, this requires a huge range of expensive machinery.
• Embryo Vitrification– Vitrification is further another form of Cryopreservation that includes the fast freezing procedure to change the texture of the liquids commonly found in the eggs, embryos, sperms’ to a glass-like state. This is the new technique that uses an ultra-fast cooling technique with a higher concentration of Cryopreservation and further does not cause any harm to the eggs, or embryos.
