The doctor has experience and strength in performing specialized techniques of assisted reproduction in the IVF lab.Embryo culture is a technique in the IVF process that helps embryos develop in a special nutrient environment. The culturing process only takes place in a short time, so all stages must be carried out precisely and meticulously to ensure a high success rate when it is put into the woman's body.
1. Embryo culture process
Embryo culture will take place in 5 to 6 days. After fertilization, eggs will form embryos and are cultured in a special environment that creates the most optimal conditions for embryo development. The culture medium contains special nutrients such as amino acids, mineral salts, growth factors... suitable for each stage of embryo development. Along with that, the concentration of CO2 and O2, temperature, light intensity, and pH are also adjusted accordingly. The embryo culture goes through the stages of observation, analysis and evaluation by experts before selecting a well-developed embryo to put into the woman's uterus.With expertise and experience in evaluating embryo quality, experts can monitor and predict embryo development to select the best embryo, increasing the likelihood of success after embryo transfer.
2. Embryo culture with the help of time lapse technology
Time lapse technique is the most modern technology application applied in assisted reproduction and infertility. Time lapse culture cabinets are equipped with separate culture cells, equipped with cameras and microscopes connected to computers. By observing embryos under the computer, experts can grasp the embryo's development stages without having to open the cabinet door, affecting embryos being cultured. This means that the incubator will be maintained with a stable environment, without any external influences from the beginning to the end of the culture. During embryo culture using the time lapse incubator system, AI will continuously record embryo development events and give instructions on embryo selection. From there experts can make quick and accurate decisions to choose the best workpiece. Detailed observation of embryo development also helps detect abnormalities in chromosome division, thereby contributing to the selection of healthy and best quality embryos to ensure successful culture.In addition, culture using time lapse technology also helps customers watch the first videos of their baby's development. This is a wonderful experience and memory in life as a parent.
