To keep the embryo safe during the freezing procedure, a cryoprotectant will be added to the tube to prevent ice crystals from forming inside the embryo. The embryo and tube are then stored inside a special freezer, which is cooled with liquid nitrogen and then lowered very slowly to -196 degrees Celsius.
