Fields
| Follicle aspiration | date of the follicle aspiration. |
| Date of freezing | date of the freezing of the sample. |
| Cryopreserved by | operator that carried out the freezing. |
| Cryo technique | technique used to freeze the material. Techniques may be added and/or modified in the related <a href="/index.php?title=MedITEX_IVF_Settings#System_tables">system table</a>. |
| Clinic of origin | external centre where the material came from. To select a centre double-click the blank field. |
| Storage date | date of the storage of the sample (this is useful when a sample comes from another centre). |
| Stored by | name of the person who froze the sample. |
| Straw ID | ID assigned to the straw. If <img src="/images/strawID.jpg" alt="" width="21" height="19" /> is clicked an ID number will be automatically assigned to it. |
| # Straws | number of straws containing the same amount of material. |
| Contract exists | if a contract is linked to the sample this box is checked. |
| Cryo contract | by clicking on the right arrow of the field it is possible to link an existing cryocontract to the sample. By clicking on <img src="/images/redx.jpg" alt="" width="23" height="23" /> the link will be removed. Click on this button <img src="/images/contrico.jpg" alt="" width="24" height="23" /> to open the contract window. |
| Material | |
| Material | number of oocytes/PN/embryos stored in the straws. |
|
Preserv. using cryostorage: |
|
| Position | additional field to keep information related to the position of the sample. |
| Colour | colours to be chosen according the colours of the used straws. |
Freezing a sperm sample
By clicking on the + button, it is possible to freeze a new sample. When the right black arrow on the "+" button is clicked, one more option is provided: to use the same values of the selected sample.
