Irvine Scientific Earns FDA Clearance for Expanded Use of Vit Kit
May 9, 2016
Irvine Scientific has nabbed FDA clearance for the expanded use of Vit Kit’s vitrification media to include human oocytes, the Santa Ana, Calif.-based company announced Monday.
The Vit Kit-Freeze and Vit Kit-Thaw are indicated for use with oocytes, pronuclear zygotes through day 3 cleavage stage embryos and blastocyst stage embryos.
The vitrification process extends the life of embryos and oocytes via “dehydration and ultra-rapid cooling,” compared to the damaging slow freezing process, according to the company. — Anisa Jibrell
