The Science Behind the Programme

Supporting Consistent Post-Thaw Outcomes

Successful outcomes with vitrified donor oocytes depend on several factors, including oocyte quality, adherence to established warming protocols and the experience of the embryology team.

Aphrodite Egg Bank’s free training programme gives participating laboratories the opportunity to familiarise themselves with our warming procedures, discuss technical practice with our embryology team and lay the foundation for ongoing laboratory collaboration.
