Vitrification
A method for freezing ova by immersing them directly into liquid nitrogen at -196ºC. The main advantage of this method is that no ice is formed, unlike what occurs in traditional freezing, when matter solidifies into ice crystals that can damage the ovum by acting like blades on the cell structures.
