Embryo Monitoring


Embryo monitoring in a time-lapse incubator is an advanced technology that allows continuous observation of embryo development without the need to remove them from the incubator. This method is used to optimize the selection of embryos for uterine transfer.

Principle of Embryo Monitoring

Advantages of Embryo Monitoring

  1. Undisturbed Embryo Cultivation: Traditional methods involve removing embryos from the incubator, which can cause fluctuations in cultivation conditions, temperature, and humidity. Time-lapse monitoring enables observation without such interventions.
  2. Selection of Embryos for Uterine Transfer: Detailed monitoring allows better assessment of embryo quality, focusing on both morphology and timing parameters such as division speed and development synchronization. This helps select the best embryo for transfer.
  3. Detection of Anomalies: Time-lapse monitoring detects anomalies like irregular cell division, delayed division, or multinucleated cells, which may reduce implantation success or lead to developmental arrest and genetic abnormalities.
  4. Increased IVF Success Rates: Accurate evaluation of embryo development increases the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
  5. Reduced Stress for Embryos: Embryos are not removed from the incubator, minimizing stress and ensuring better development conditions.

At ReproGenesis, we offer undisturbed embryo cultivation using one of the most advanced incubators equipped with MIRI TL 12 time-lapse technology from Esco Medical.

Main Advantages of the MIRI TL 12 Incubator:

  1. Combination of Incubator and Time-Lapse Monitoring: The MIRI TL 12 features an integrated time-lapse system, enabling continuous recording without removing embryos from the incubator. High-quality cameras capture images at intervals (usually every 5–10 minutes), focusing on each embryo individually.
  2. Optimized Conditions for Embryo Development: Advanced technologies ensure stable and optimal conditions for embryo development, regulating temperature, humidity, pH, and gas concentrations.
  3. Highly Efficient Embryo Management: The incubator allows simultaneous monitoring of up to 12 culture dishes, each accommodating up to 14 fertilized eggs.
