Every media batch is provided with a Certificate of Analysis with a high level of Quality Control (QC) release parameters.
The most important is the Bovine Embryo Assay BEA Test. There are huge differences in reproductive physiology between the mouse and cow, therefore a MEA test is not sufficient QC for a bovine medium.

As a customer you get a detailed Manual of Procedure and access to online support. Furthermore, there will be online training courses and individual troubleshooting sessions (also online- until we can travel again).
The maturation and culture media contain serum and are ready-to-use and require no supplements.
The media range applies to in vitro production of bovine embryos from both Ovum Pick Up and Slaughterhouse ovary collection. The media can also be used to produce sheep, goat, buffaloes and camelid embryos. For endangered species, ZOO- and wildlife animals

3 Vials for Embryo Vitrification
Sucrose, Ficoll, Dimethyl Sulphoxide (DMSO) Ethylene Glycol, Glucose, Sodium Pyruvate, Albumin, Inorganic Salts. The cryoprotective ingredients work by dehydrating embryos combined with an influx of high concentrations of cryoprotectants by increasing osmolality stepwise from 290 mOsm/kg to 865 mOsm/kg and the reverse procedure for warming (rehydration of embryo and removal of cryoprotectants) Above steps are essential for rapid cooling into LN2, which takes place from 30 °C to −196 °C in less than one second See the detailed protocol on Vitrification and Warming of embryos
