Application of the Automated Vitrification & Warming System at a Large Breeding Enterprise

Automation Delivers a 13.41-Percentage-Point Increase in Pregnancy Rate and Improves Operational Efficiency

【Customer Profile】

The customer is a large breeding enterprise and a leading livestock-breeding operation, processing nearly 10,000 in vitro-produced embryos annually.

【Challenge】

As processing volume increased, conventional programmed cryopreservation and manual vitrification and warming created significant bottlenecks. The workflows depended heavily on experienced embryologists, while fatigue during high-volume operation increased the risk of handling errors. Batch-to-batch variation in post-warming survival also affected pregnancy rates and commercial delivery targets.

【Biorocks Solution】

In 2024, the customer implemented the high-throughput Biorocks Automated Vitrification & Warming System. The system standardized critical embryo-handling steps and reduced the need for repetitive manual processing. It can process up to 12 embryos per run.

【Key Outcome Comparison】

【Customer Feedback】

“Since adopting the Biorocks Automated Vitrification & Warming System, the most noticeable change has been consistency. The system has significantly reduced the laboratory's manual workload, while both post-warming survival and pregnancy-rate outcomes have improved substantially. These improvements have translated into clear operational and economic benefits.”
