“…In our study, similar alterations of sperm motility and vitality were measured after thawing sperm samples stored in dry and liquid nitrogen tanks after 6 months storage whatever the level of storage in the tank. Several groups reported similar results with vapor phase tanks [15,17,22]. The motile sperm recovery rate after thawing may be improved by density gradient centrifugation performed before freezing [7] and/or supplementation of the media by an antioxidant [3,18].…”

“…Using a closed carrier during the vitrification process is not always feasible. Moreover, mounting evidence reveals that the storage of sperm samples using the vapor protocol can decrease the risk of viral contamination (and cross-contamination) ( 117 ). Apart from the open systems, a variety of closed tools have been proposed and developed in the vitrification process and some of them are the straw-in-straw, the high-security vitrification straw, the Cryotip, the VitriSafe, the Cryopette, the cryptologic, the Rapid-i, the S3 system, and the S3 μS-VTF device ( 99 ).…”

The broad conceptualization of fertility preservation and restoration has become already a major concern in the modern western world since a large number of individuals often face it in the everyday life. Driven by different health conditions and/or social reasons, a variety of patients currently rely on routinely and non-routinely applied assisted reproductive technologies, and mostly on the possibility to cryopreserve gametes and/or gonadal tissues for expanding their reproductive lifespan. This review embraces the data present in human-focused literature regarding the up-to-date methodologies and tools contemporarily applied in IVF laboratories' clinical setting of the oocyte, sperm, and embryo cryopreservation and explores the latest news and issues related to the optimization of methods used in ovarian and testicular tissue cryopreservation.

“…There is a chance of viral contamination between sperm specimens kept frozen under liquid nitrogen [ 13 ]. As a result, nitrogen vapor is often used in contemporary sperm banks since it presumably poses a considerably reduced danger of viral cross-contamination [ 14 ]. Masturbation is the quickest and most convenient way to collect a semen sample for sperm banking, but there are other options as well.…”

Sperm cryopreservation has been used as a sperm preservation solution for infertility issues faced by men undergoing cancer treatment for over 40 years. Recent developments in sperm cryopreservation and its wide variety of therapeutic uses are discussed in this article, which offers a succinct and up-to-date overview of the relevant literature. Recently, sperm cryopreservation has been employed for a wider variety of therapeutic purposes. As a result, sperm freezing is becoming available to a wider variety of patients, which requires more specialized personnel and increases overhead expenses. While sperm cryopreservation before cancer treatment is accessible in many countries, oncology doctors' referral rates and patient participation with cryopreservation services have been observed to be poor. In addition, there are still moral concerns with sperm banking, including whether or not donors' identities should be protected and whether or not a deceased person's sperm should be used after his or her death. This article discusses the recent developments in sperm cryopreservation technology and the moral questions that have arisen around this practice, with an eye toward how a deeper knowledge of these concerns can help more people get access to treatments that might help preserve their fertility. A sperm bank will notify clients about the screenings it does and the background information it gathers on individual donors to guarantee the safety and quality of the sperm they get. The viability and quantity of viable sperm in a thawed sample are often guaranteed by a sperm bank. They will look for very fertile males who can donate sperm that can withstand the freezing and thawing procedure. In many cases, sperm banks advertise their samples as having a certain number of viable sperm per milliliter, and they may provide many sample types for various applications (intracytoplasmic sperm injection and intrauterine insemination).
