Cryopreservation
For each species, there are special protocols, optimised for cryoconserving genetic material. This ensures successful use of the genebank material in the future.
To safeguard the quality of genebank material, reliable freezing methods and protocols are needed. The CGN develops and improves methods for cryopreservation of sperm, embryos and oocytes from various animal species.
The successful storage and usage of genetic material requires very specific cryopreservation procedures and propagation techniques.
Freezing semen from a new species is preceded by research on semen collection and freezing methods. We also investigate the fertilising ability of frozen material to validate freezing methods.
