ABSTRACT:
A method for storing, thawing and transferring frozen embryos to recipient animals is disclosed which provides the advantage of a one step dilution, to elminate damage from the cryoprotective solution after thawing, and immediate transfer to the recipient animal. Also disclosed is an apparatus for freezing, storing, thawing and transferring frozen embryos to recipients which comprises a container having first and second chambers wherein a volume of cryoprotective solution containing the embryo can be stored in the first chamber and an effective volumetric amount of a diluent solution can be stored in the second chamber the chambers being divided by removable separation means so as to provide for a dilution process within a single field container.
