When there is a problem in a clinic needed to be solved, Jaco is never far away. This former Lab Manager now spends his working time travelling around the globe to support IVF clinics to improve their results.
It is common practice to maintain a temperature of 37 oC during all working and culture conditions in the IVF laboratory. This will allow for an optimal environment for the handling and culture of gametes and embryos. In this blog post I will explain why temperature control in the IVF lab is crucial, what equipment to be measured, when to measure and what to do with the results.
Temperature, pH and osmolality are some of the most important parameters to take into account during In Vitro embryo culture. In any good quality management system these parameters, amongst others, should be monitored and regulated on a regular basis to ensure optimal culture conditions are maintained. In this blog post I will specifically highlight the importance of pH and its relation to CO2 measurements for successful results in IVF.
