Quality Control

The I.C.E. vitrification & thaw media have been thoroughly tested, similar to any FDA approved culture media used in the IVF lab.  We use several independent certified labs to do all of our QC testing.  We also perform more rigorous testing of our media by including fungal, yeast, and mold tests.  Furthermore, our mouse embryo assay (MEA) is not only a toxicity test, but also a functionality test, as mouse embryos are actually vitrified and thawed, rather than simply washed into and out of the media. 

Certificates of Analysis and MSDS are available upon request.

We have also tested media that was one year past its expiration date.  It passed all of our testing with results similar to when it was first manufactured!
