Types of Incubators
Types of Incubators
After fertilizing eggs in laboratory conditions, it is important to provide embryos with the most ideal environment for their further development.
Exactly for this purpose, special incubators are used that simulate natural conditions in the uterus and enable embryos to safely divide and develop.
The correct selection of incubator and cultivation conditions can significantly influence the success of infertility treatment.
K-System Incubator
K-System incubator is a chamber incubator where your embryos are cultivated in a separate chamber designated only for you.
A stable cultivation environment ensures good conditions for embryo division, however during each embryo check, the embryologist must remove the embryo from the incubator and briefly place it under a microscope.
Such manipulation with embryos can be stressful for them and may negatively affect their quality.
EmbryoScope
EmbryoScope (time-lapse embryo monitoring) - this incubator has a built-in camera that minimizes the need to remove the embryo from the incubator.
Thanks to continuous monitoring of embryo division, the embryologist obtains a wealth of information that can detect possible causes of embryo division arrest or estimate the probability of implantation.
We can rank embryos by quality and in this order recommend transfer or freezing of embryos.
Quality cultivation conditions are essential for proper embryo development and selecting the highest quality embryo can significantly accelerate the entire treatment process.
