ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Sperm freezing (sperm storage)
Sperm can be frozen by mixing the sample with a media containing cryoprotectants
to allow the sperm to survive at very low temperatures. Samples are frozen in clearly
labelled plastic straws and stored in liquid nitrogen (-196°C).
Sperm is stored for a number of reasons, including:
- Preservation of fertility prior to medical treatment (eg. chemotherapy)
- Absence of the male partner during fertility treatment
- Potential difficulties in producing a sample on the day of fertility treatment
