ContactTHE NEW CRYOTOP®
Not just the best proven results on the market, now also the best user experience.
Achieve the highest survival rates on the market with the Cryotop® Method, the global leader in vitrification of oocytes and embryos in all stages of development.
The revolutionary device by Kitazato has been applied in over 1,500,000 clinical cases for oocytes and embryos with this method of cryopreservation during the last decade, obtaining excellent results in over 90 countries and 2,200 assisted reproduction centres. The Cryotop® method is simple, safe, universal and easy to apply for everyone.
THE NEW CRYOTOP® IMPROVEMENTS
Main improvements:
Wider Strip: The strip’s been widened. Now, with a bigger surface, it is even easier to load the specimens.
Easier Insertion: The diamond tip, the reshaped conjunction between strip and handle and the widened body grant a smoother insertion into the coverstraw.
Identification Marks: The Cryotop® has now two identification marks on its upper surface, defining the side where the specimens should be loaded, if you are vitrifing, or are loaded, if you are thawing.
Cryotop® is a vitrification device consisting of a fine strip of transparent film attached to a plastic handle resistent to liquid nitrogen. Its design allows the loading of specimens for vitrification with a minimum volume (0.1 µl), providing the best Cooling and Warming rates on the market (-23,000ºC/minute and 42,000ºC/minute respectively) which in turn lead to the best survival rates.
Highest survival rates
Cryotop® Method offers proof of its outstanding results. Our suvival rates over 90% are backed up by numerous clinical studies with the biggest sample sizes in the market.

Main characteristics:
- Allows up to 4 specimens to be loaded per device.
- It has an external covering to protect the Cryotop® once vitrified. Tip with weight to prevent floating in liquid nitrogen.
- Manufactured in malleable plastic resistant to liquid nitrogen.
- Available in packs of 10 units.
Cryotop® is the logical choice for obtaining the best clinical results. Its unparalleled survival rates for oocytes and embryos have contributed to bringing hundreds of healthy babies into the world in the last decade.
Accessories
Repro plate
Exclusively designed to follow the vitrification protocol with comfort; offers two slots to support the Cryotop®, allowing those who wish to carry out loading specimens statically. Has a flat base which allows the use of traceability labels.
Cooling rack
Designed to contain the liquid nitrogen during vitrification. Metallic cover for the interior also available, allowing sterilisation before use.
- Endotoxin: ≤ 0.5EU/device by LAL methodology
- Sterility (Bacteria, Fungi): current USP Sterility Test <71>
- MEA (Mouse Embryo Assay): One cell assay ≥ 80% after 96 hours
