Resumen: A series of experiments was carried out to validate a -150degreesC ultra-low temperature freezer for its possible use to properly freeze and store semen. In the first part, crude sample handling was simulated to see whether temperature of stored samples was maintained within a safe range; also, the freezing point and latent heat of fusion plateau of a semen extender were monitored. In the second part, buck semen was (i) frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in the ultra-low freezer, (ii) frozen and stored in the ultra-low freezer, and (iii) frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen, to compare sperm cryosurvival between freezing methods. Both, frequent removal of samples and long opening of the freezer door did not negatively affect stored sample temperature; latent heat of fusion plateau was 5 minutes long. Semen stored either at -150degreesC or at -196degreesC cryosurvived similarly after 2 days and after 2 months of cryopreservation.
