Culture media for elective single embryo transfer
(sz) New media suite will provide the optimum environment for the fertilisation of the oocyte, the subsequent division of the resulting embryo and ensure optimum blastocyst development for extended culture.
Cook Women’s Health announces the launch of a new formulation of its acclaimed physiological IVF culture media. Alterations to its fertilisation, cleavage and blastocyst media suite are designed to assist the natural development of the embryo at each developmental stage, thereby maximising embryo viability and offering IVF clinics the opportunity to implement single embryo transfer. The revised formulation includes an alteration to the constituents of its current fertilisation, cleavage and blastocyst media, particularly in relation to the concentration of glucose, albumin, amino acids and added vitamins.
This assists the three stages of oocyte fertilisation, embryo division and subsequent embryo development, providing the appropriate nutrients to match the gamete’s and embryo’s shifting metabolic requirements.
Changes to the original IVF culture media suite are the result of more than two years of extensive research working with physicians and scientists from Sydney IVF, world leaders in assisted reproductive medicine and elective single embryo transfer. more…
