[QUOTE="dun, post: 285154, member: 34"] More on ice water thatw: 1) Ice water (38-42F) is placed in a styrofoam box long enough before-hand to allow temperature to equilibrate. 2) Remove the ampule from tank and place immediately into thaw box. Ampule may be placed in a small plastic cup with holes in the bottom. This prevents ice from coming into direct contact with ampule. 3) Ampule should thaw in 3 to 5 minutes. Check for slushiness and allow more time if needed. 4) Ampule may sit in ice water for as long as 30 minutes with no damage. Once removed, the semen must be used right away. 5) The layer of ice on the ampule must be peeled off before opening to avoid possible contamination. [/QUOTE]
