2.750,00 €
Three day group course for those embryologists who are new in vitrification or for those who are already performing vitrification in their daily routine, and even thought they just want to update their knowledge and learn some tips and tricks to improve results.
This course with a maximum of six people guarantees a unique environment and highly technological laboratory with the most modern and exclusive equipment in the market available for training.
Implementing a robust cryopreservation program: about vitrification, warming and assisted hatching
Aims and Goals of the Course:
This three-days training course is specifically designed for Embryologists interested in acquiring practical skills and updating their knowledge on oocyte, embryo, and blastocyst cryopreservation techniques. The course will focus on didactic and intensive hands-on practical lessons on the vitrification system and media that the embryologist needs to implement, pointing out the tips and tricks to achieve consistent results. Throughout the three-days, embryologists will have the opportunity to vitrify and warm unlimited number of oocytes and embryos needed to understand how important small details can affect results. The course also covers the fundamental principles of the assisted hatching procedure and its multiple applications in different developmental stages. Introduction to the Laser Assisted Hatching and familiarization with different operational modes. Evaluation and discussion about the effect of the size of the hole on the developing embryo by culturing treated embryos in a TL system. At the end of the course the trainee will have enough information to implement a robust cryopreservation program and identify the possible troubleshooting.
