Embryo Culture


Most of the embryo culture media used in early human IVF was based upon media that were successfully used in animal embryo culture. The goal of embryo culture in an assisted reproductive (ART) technique is to improve the quality of embryos developing inside the laboratory under aseptic conditions on a nutrient medium. The male semen specimen allows fertilizing with the retrieval eggs in a petri dish which contains a culture media and incubated overnight under examination in vitro. It is a critical stage during IVF and requires several steps to ensure a successful IVF cycle.
