Disclosed herein are microfluidic devices and methods to deliver concentration gradients to biological material such as oocytes and embryos for the purpose of cryopreparation, cryopreservation, or thawing. Cryopreservation methods, such as vitrification, involve the use of cryoprotectants to reduce formation of damaging ice crystals in cells during freezing. Microfluidic devices and methods described herein improve cell viability and efficiency during handling and cryopreservation of biological materials.

Microfluidic devices and methods for delivering solutions to biological material

Described herein are devices, systems, and methods to facilitate cryopreservation of a cell or a mass of a plurality of cells such as oocytes or embryos. A device of the disclosure can, for example, store oocytes or embryos during the vitrification and/or warming processes of in vitro fertilization.
