Freezing Medium - TYB with Glycerol & Gentamicin

Cat. No. 90128

20x5ml, 100ml

​

 

Sperm cryopreservation medium containing TEST-yolk buffer to attain high postthaw sperm recovery.

Freezing Medium TYB contains TEST-yolk buffer (TYB) to recover more motile sperm post-thaw than glycerol-only media (Hallak 2000, Nallella 2004). TEST-yolk buffer is a semen extender and cryobuffer that can be paired with glycerol to achieve high sperm motility and viability. The egg yolk is from USDA certified virus-free flocks and washed from the sperm after cryopreservation. Freezing Medium TYB is also the only CE-marked and FDA-approved sperm freezing media containing TYB and glycerol. As one of the most referenced sperm cryopreservation media worldwide, Freezing Medium TYB has established itself as the standard for performance.

• 2 year shelf life

• Contains:
  - 20% egg yolk from USDA certified SPF (Virus Free) laying flocks, heat inactivated at 56°C for 30 minutes
  - 12% glycerol
  - 10µg/mL gentamicin sulfate

• CE Marked

Sperm Maintenance Medium

Cat. No. 99176

​

 

Sperm cryopreservation medium to minimize dilution of low quality semen for sperm freezing and preservation

Sperm Maintenance Medium uses only 1 mL of medium per 3 mL of semen or sperm. This more efficient medium means lower costs per cycle of sperm cryopreservation, minimal dilution of low quality semen, and potentially fewer straws/vials per patient. Sperm Maintenance Medium has similar performance to Freezing Medium TYB, a TEST-yolk buffer based sperm cryopreservation medium, without containing egg yolk (Es-slami, 2009). The medium’s unique formulation contains ingredients, such as hypotaurine and ascorbic acid, that have been shown to protect against reactive oxygen species.


• CE Marked
• Contains:
  - 28% v/v glycerol for a 3:1 ratio of semen to medium
  - Antioxidants, such as hypotaurine and ascorbic acid
  - HEPES
  - Human Serum Albumin
  - Sucrose
  - Pluronic F-68

Quality Control Testing:
• Endotoxin by Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL)
• Sperm Cryosurvival assay
• Sterility by the current USP , CFR or Ph. Eur. Sterility Test

Refrigeration Medium - TYB with Gentamicin

Cat. No. 90129

​

 

Short term storage of human sperm using an easy single step refrigeration process that preserves semen for up to 4 days without freezing or glycerol

Refrigeration Medium TYB with Gentamicin is ideal for short term sperm storage to preserve sperm for up to 4 days. With an easy one-step process of simply thawing the media and adding media at a 1:1 ratio with the sperm sample, it is quicker and easier than sperm cryopreservation. Refrigeration Medium TYB with Gentamicin contains TEST-yolk buffer as the protecting agent, and the glycerol-free formulation avoids the potentially damaging effects from penetrating cryoprotectants.  This product has been CE marked and FDA-cleared for short term sperm storage.

• Contains
  - 20% egg yolk - from USDA certified Specific Pathogen Free (Virus Free) laying flocks, heat inactivated at 56° C for 30 minutes
  - 10µg/mL Gentamicin Sulfate
  - Does not contain glycerol
• CE Mark
