How are embryos frozen and stored after an IVF cycle?

EMBRYO DONATION - Facts About Embryos
Very carefully! During the freezing process, even under the stringent protocols used by IVF labs, embryos must survive the dangers of ice formation, extreme changes in temperature, pH and the concentration of electrolyte in their environment, as well as transmembrane water movement. The cells of embryos, like other living tissue, contain water. Water forms sharp ice crystals and expands as it freezes, which would cause the embryo to burst if it were not removed first.
