In 1990, ReproTech was founded for the sole purpose of providing long-term reproductive tissue storage. Today, that is still all we do. We provide the industry's safest, most secure and best managed long-term storage facility. In fact, it's the facility that most IVF centers recommend for ongoing storage.
RTL now provides safe and secure long-term reproductive tissue storage for patients from leading clinics all across the nation. Our cryo-storage facilities in Florida, Minnesota and Nevada are monitored 24/7 by state-of-the-art Rees monitoring systems which record temperature changes as small as 0.01 degree Celsius. Additionally, all tanks are manually monitored on a weekly basis by our experienced personnel, our facilities are under 24-hour security and surveillance, each facility has on-site back-up bulk nitrogen storage, and all electronic data is backed up daily with data backupstored offsite. When long-term storage of your reproductive tissue is needed, trust your future to the leader.
Egg(Oocyte) Freezing Advancements
The first birth from egg freezing occurred more than ten years ago, however, improvements in technology have been slow in coming until recently. Today, more than 1,000 births have been recorded, and all around the world, research is being reported which is providing tremendous results. Currently, there exists two primary methods of egg freezing, the more traditional slow-freezing protocols and the more recently applied vitrification protocols. Both methodologies have resulted in hundreds of live births across the globe. The facilities which provide egg (oocyte) freezing as part of our Fertility Preservation Network employ one or both methodologies. Since egg (oocyte) freezing is still considered an experimental procedure by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, it is generally only offered in a research setting with IRB oversight.
Fertility Preservation
Patients seeking fertility preservation services should visit our Freezing Center Network pages for more information and a list of facilities which provide embryo and\or oocyte cryopreservation services for fertility preservation and\or oncology patients.
Contact RTL for options for final disposition of oocyte specimens once your oocyte storage needs have ended.
