RapidVit/Warm media Rapid-i Kit™ PREVIOUS PROCEDURE EMBRYO TRANSFER NEXT PROCEDURE SLOW FREEZING Aseptic handling with vitrification in super-cooled air Rapid-i™ is a unique vitrification device. After loading of the embryos onto the Rapid-i, the device is inserted into a pre-cooled RapidStraw™. The air inside the straw is super-cooled by the surrounding liquid nitrogen and the vitrification occurs instantly. Sealing of the straw is performed after vitrification which makes it easier for the operator to perform the critical dehydration steps of vitrification within the important time frames. When the embryos are to be warmed, the RapidStraw is cut and the Rapid-i retrieved without any contact with surrounding materials, allowing for safe aseptic handling. Everything in one place The Rapid-i Vitrification System is an integrated, convenient and closed system for vitrification. The device, media and supporting accessories in the system are developed to function together. Physiological temperature important RapidVit™ and RapidWarm™ media are used at 37˚C to maintain physiological temperature during dehydration and re-hydration procedures. Keeping an eye on the embryo The patented Rapid-i Kit is an “open-hole” device designed to allow vitrification in a minute volume of vitrification solution. The open hole also allows you to constantly keep an eye on the embryo while loading and warming.
