Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vitrification freezing technology for embryo samples, and more specifically, to an embryo vitrification freezing carrier rod. Background Art
[0002] The cryopreservation of embryo samples is a mature method for preserving fertility functions. This technology uses equilibration solution, cryoprotectant, etc. to pre-freeze the embryos, enabling the cryoprotectant to gradually penetrate into the cells of the embryos, so that the embryos can withstand the upcoming sharp temperature drop process without being damaged. After a series of operation procedures, the embryos can reach a suitable state for freezing, and then they can be placed in a liquid nitrogen environment at -196°C for long-term preservation.
[0003] Currently, in the field of assisted reproduction, during the embryo culture process, the traditional embryo vitrification freezing method is commonly used. The operation process is generally as follows: after preparing the equilibration solution and culture dish, prepare an equilibration solution drop in the culture dish; use a Pasteur pipette to transfer the embryo to the equilibration solution drop; let the embryo stand in the equilibration solution for 5 minutes; prepare a cryoprotectant solution drop in the culture dish; use a Pasteur pipette to transfer the embryo to the cryoprotectant solution drop; let the embryo stand in the cryoprotectant solution for 1 minute; use a Pasteur pipette to transfer the embryo to the front end of the freezing carrier rod; quickly immerse the front end of the freezing carrier rod into liquid nitrogen.
[0004] During the vitrification freezing process of embryos, it is necessary to transfer the embryo samples multiple times, which may cause a certain degree of damage to the embryos or embryo loss, and both a culture dish and a freezing carrier rod are required as consumables.

In this way, the carrier rod is fixed on the stud through the clamping joint, which is convenient for disassembly.
[0008] Further, a guiding tube and a clamping projection are provided on the clamping connector, a guiding sleeve and a clamping notch are provided on the stud, the guiding tube is sleeved in the guiding sleeve, and the clamping projection is clamped in the clamping notch.
[0009] Further, an external thread is provided on the outer periphery of the stud. In this way, the stud can be rotated onto the liquid nitrogen tank, and the vitrification freezing and sealing of the embryo can be conveniently achieved.
[0010] Furthermore, a screw port is provided at one end of the stud to facilitate tightening of the stud. The rotation of the stud can be conveniently controlled through the screw port.
[0011] Further, the liquid loading area is arranged at the other end of the body opposite to the clamping connector.
