Select the samples you wish to thaw from the list and click the Minus button or Thaw (if available).

	A safety dialog will be opened.
	After confirming the dialog, please indicate the reason for the removal of the sample. Just select the reason of thawing, the thawing date and confirm. The sample will be removed from the cryostorage and it will appear in the history section. Press the OK to remove the sample from the cryo storage.

Cryostorage overview

In order to have an overview of all the materials stored in the cryo storage, select Cryostorage overview in the system menu:

By selecting Oocyte / embryo storage locations or Sperm storage locations, a new window will be opened and it will only display tanks that are dedicated only to the selected option. If a tank is dedicated to both materials it will be shown in either Gyn or Andro.   To select all tanks choose All storage locations.

 

A new window will open and it has the same functionalities as Choosing a location in the cryo storage. The only difference is when clicking on the Print button; it will be possible to print a list with all cryo preserved materials for the selection.

To dedicate a tank to Gyn, Andro or both materials, access the Cryo storage section in the settings.
