Embryo/Gamete Storage Vessels
Dedicated Cryogenic Storage for Reproductive Material
Specialized cryogenic storage vessels optimized for vitrified embryos, sperm, and oocytes
Purpose
Specialized cryogenic storage vessels optimized for vitrified embryos, sperm, and oocytes
Context
Child of L2-GEN-EMBR
Principles
- ▸Goblet and cane storage system organizes samples hierarchically within dewars
- ▸Separate storage vessels for different material types (embryos vs sperm vs oocytes)
- ▸Sample-level isolation prevents cross-contamination between species
- ▸Inventory tracking integrated with overall CRY-INV system
Typical implementations
- ▸MVE HEco cryogenic storage vessels
- ▸Taylor-Wharton CX100 series cryogenic containers
- ▸Thermo Fisher Locator series LN2 storage tanks
Lunar considerations
- ▸Storage organization must enable robotic retrieval of individual samples
- ▸Vessel volume allocation must balance species across available containers
- ▸Redundant storage (copies in separate vessels) protects against single-vessel failure
