Cryopreservation
Cryopreservation is the process of freezing biological material at extreme temperatures, causing all biological activity to stop, including biochemical reactions that would otherwise lead to cell death and DNA degradation. We have developed cryopreservation protocols for many different aquatic species, assuring the best possible outcomes to preserve desired genes.
With our specially designed laboratories, storage sites worldwide as well as mobile laboratories, we want to give our clients easier access to our cryopreservation services. Therefore, cryopreservation can either be performed at Cryogenetics’ nearest facility or on-site wherever you are located.
Having cryopreserved material available in practical, efficienct packaging can be just as important as the cryopreservation protocol itself. Our patent protected SquarePack® can hold 11 ml of milt and is designed for cryopreserving large milt volumes which drastically facilitates the fertilization process.
Define your cryo-strategy
Cryo-strategy varies depending on client’s needs and we help you develop your own strategy to maximize efficiency and optimize usage of cryopreserved samples.
Various examples of cryo-strategies include:
Seasonal cryopreservation
- Securing milt from males with highest GEBV
- Secures access to top quality milt throughout the whole year
- Optimal for early and/or late season fertilization
Off-season
- Secure top-quality milt for off-season period
- Shift focus to female fish only
Emergency back-up
- In case of disease outbreaks or unpredicted catastrophes
- Easy transport, storage and handling of cryo-milt
Back-up Nucleus
- Allows development of an advanced breeding program
- Generation crosses
- Increased genetic progress and flexibility
