The center combines precision science, biobank-grade technology, and individualized fertility planning to ensure that every stored embryo maintains its viability and developmental potential for years to come.
Utilizing next-generation vitrification technology, AI-driven embryo grading, and cryogenic systems with multi-layered monitoring, Elite Embryo Cryobank ensures that embryos are frozen under optimal conditions and safely maintained at −196°C. This guarantees maximum survival rates upon thawing and seamless coordination with future fertility treatments.
By integrating world-class embryology, smart data management, and ethical reproductive care, Elite Embryo Cryobank has become a leader in Korea’s fertility preservation and cryostorage field.
Purpose & Benefits
The purpose of embryo cryobanking is to secure and preserve embryos for future use—allowing patients to plan pregnancies at the most suitable time for their health, lifestyle, or medical needs.
Key benefits include:
- Extended fertility options: Enables delayed pregnancy while preserving youthful embryo quality.
- Ultra-safe long-term storage: Embryos remain viable for 15–25 years under continuous temperature control.
- Superior vitrification method: Prevents ice crystal formation, ensuring 98–99% survival rates upon thawing.
- Scheduling flexibility: Ideal for patients pursuing multiple IVF cycles or genetic testing before transfer.
- Reduced physical and emotional stress: Avoids repeated ovarian stimulation cycles.
- International access: Supports patients who wish to store or transfer embryos globally.
Elite Embryo Cryobank ensures medical precision, data transparency, and full regulatory compliance for safe and efficient embryo preservation.
Ideal Candidates
Embryo cryopreservation at Elite Embryo Cryobank is ideal for patients who wish to preserve fertility potential or manage treatment timing with flexibility.
Ideal candidates include:
- Couples planning future pregnancy after IVF cycles.
- Patients undergoing genetic screening (PGT-A or PGT-M).
- Women delaying childbearing due to personal or medical reasons.
- Patients at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation or requiring uterine recovery time.
- International couples seeking secure cross-border embryo storage.
This service ensures accessibility, flexibility, and peace of mind through global-standard cryogenic preservation.
Possible Risks & Complications
Although extremely safe, embryo cryostorage may involve minor risks such as:
- Rare (<1%) loss during freezing or thawing due to handling variables.
- Emotional anxiety over long-term storage.
- Legal or logistical complexities for international transfers.
Elite Embryo Cryobank minimizes these through robotic vitrification, continuous nitrogen monitoring, and fully traceable digital inventory systems.
Laboratory Techniques Used
Elite Embryo Cryobank employs cutting-edge biotechnological systems for embryo preservation:
- Vitrification (Ultra-Rapid Freezing): Embryos are instantly frozen at −196°C to maintain full cellular integrity.
- Automated Biobank Management: Each sample is digitally tagged, tracked, and monitored 24/7.
- Dual-Redundancy Cryogenic Tanks: Backup liquid nitrogen and power systems ensure uninterrupted storage.
- AI Quality Assessment: Embryo morphology and developmental stage are analyzed for optimal freezing conditions.
- Precision Thawing Protocols: Temperature-regulated, contamination-free thawing maximizes viability.
All processes meet GLP, ISO, and WHO cryobank standards, ensuring sterility and reliability.
Recovery & Aftercare
No direct recovery is required for patients after embryo freezing, as the process occurs in the laboratory post-fertilization.
Recommended aftercare includes:
- Maintaining hormone balance post-IVF.
- Following nutrition and supplement plans for future transfer readiness.
- Periodic consultation for storage updates or transfer planning.
Elite Cryobank provides full aftercare coordination with partnered fertility clinics for seamless embryo thawing and transfer cycles.
Results & Longevity
Elite Embryo Cryobank maintains exceptional results through scientific precision and regulatory excellence.
Performance indicators include:
- Embryo survival rate: 98–99% post-thaw.
- Long-term viability: Up to 25 years with no degradation in quality.
- Patient satisfaction rate: Over 95% among international IVF clients.
- Global transport readiness: Embryos can be safely shipped worldwide under IATA and WHO biospecimen standards.
These outcomes reflect Korea’s leadership in medical cryobiology and fertility innovation.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step 1: IVF & Embryo Creation
Embryos are generated through IVF or ICSI at a certified fertility clinic.
Step 2: Quality Assessment & Selection
Embryologists evaluate embryo health and developmental stage using AI-assisted grading systems.
Step 3: Vitrification Process
Selected embryos are flash-frozen at −196°C using high-precision vitrification.
Step 4: Secure Cryostorage
Embryos are stored in double-sealed straws within nitrogen tanks under 24-hour monitoring.
Step 5: Long-Term Maintenance & Access
Patients receive regular updates and may request thaw or transfer at any time.
Step 6: Embryo Thawing & Transfer Coordination
When ready, embryos are transported or thawed and transferred under optimal hormonal conditions.
