Together. All the way.

Embryo quality remains the strongest predictor of IVF success, particularly embryo euploidy and developmental competence. However, even the highest-quality embryo requires optimal conditions to implant successfully. Evidence shows that embryo transfer (ET) technique, uterine health, and catheter selection can all influence clinical outcomes.

Embarking on an IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) journey can be emotionally complex and medically challenging. For patients, each decision along the way carries tremendous importance. One of the key elements that can support patients throughout this process is transparency, openness and information from clinics, clinicians, and laboratories.

Data from a recently published clinical study showed a significant increase in detection of euploid/diploid embryos in embryos with confirmed atypical PN using time-lapse technology with EmbryoScope and ploidy detection. 

A newly published study in F&S Reports explores a critical question in modern IVF: how does embryologist experience influence agreement with AI-driven embryo ranking, and what does this mean for clinical outcomes?

In modern IVF practice, Time-lapse incubation with EmbryoScope+ and PGT-A Plus genetic testing offer complementary strategies to identify more usable embryos that may help improve transfer success.

Advancements improve identification of useable embryos, and transparency on the process

The CE marking on a medical device indicates that the product complies with European Union (EU) regulations. This certification highlights the fact that the product meets general safety and performance requirements as set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/745, AKA Medical Device Regulations (MDR). As well as being a legal requirement to have the CE marking in the European Economic Area (EEA), or equivalent in certain markets, it also provides reassurance that the medical device has undergone rigorous testing and assessment to ensure its safety and performance. This helps protect patients and users from potential risks associated with using non-compliant or unsafe devices.

Welcome to our blog post, where we explore the remarkable benefits of integrating time-lapse technology and specialised software in clinical settings. By combining these innovative tools, clinics worldwide are optimising workflows, gaining valuable insights, and revolutionising patient care. Carol Loscher, Laboratory Manager at Thérapie Fertility in Dublin, sharesthe valuable insight of their practice in the clinic.

In 2020, Nij Geertgen (Netherlands) became the first center in Benelux to offer 100% time-lapse for all patients.  

The physiological pH for human gametes and embryos is generally thought to be between 7.2 and 7.4. In order to maintain this range of pH during culture, i.e. to create a similar environment to that of the human reproductive tract, we use CO₂ gas inside various types of incubators (this blog post by Markus Montag – “Considerations for embryos culture at high altitude”, further explains this).
