FAQs
How are embryos evaluated in conventional methods?
In traditional methods, embryos are taken out of the incubator multiple times within the first week to assess and track the development on Days 1, 3, 5 and 6. If not done quickly, the embryos risk exposure to the elements; if done too quickly, the embryo is at risk of damage during extraction.
With the Embryoscope+, we have the ability to keep embryos in ideal conditions and evaluate their progress in an environment mimicking a woman’s womb without disruption.
Is there any research to support the technology’s impact on successful pregnancy rates?
Yes! Below is a brief list of recent studies that have been completed using the Embryoscope+. For more information, please visit Vitrolife’s website here.
