Why hyaluronan is an invaluable molecule for embryo implantation

By Dr. Christer Silversand, Mar 14, 2017

VitroTemp is the perfect complement to Vitrolife square dishes

Our dishes are specifically designed to support and facilitate IVF procedures, making your work easier and more effective. All square dishes have an absolute flat bottom. When placed on a heated stage, all dishes receive the same bottom temperature. VitroTemp is specifically designed for temperature measurements of media in Vitrolife square dishes while handled outside the incubator. This is a completely new way to measure temperature in media during manipulations in open air. Once you have calibrated the temperature of your heated stage you can feel confident that all dishes will have the same temperature. Our dishes are manufactured with quality controlled and certified materials. The finished products are further tested to ensure a secure environment for gametes and embryos.

Why you should use specific embryo culture media for specific applications

Safe since the start

Proven in more than 200 scientific publications With tens of thousands of children born after laser treatment and with no adverse effects, you can be sure your gametes* and embryos are safe during laser procedures performed using Octax lasers. Octax laser technology has been tried and tested in over 200 preclinical and clinical publications, which have shown zero adverse effects on oocytes*, embryos or the children born after laser treatment. No alterations of the cytoplasm. Histology on mouse oocytes after laser treatment. (Germond et al., 1995) No thermal damage observed. SEM analysis of the zona pellucida after laser treatmentof mouse zygotes. (Rink et al., 1996) No genetic, histological or anatomical effects. Transfer of mouse zygotes into foster mothers after laser treatment, immunohistochemical/anatomical analysis of the offspring, breeding for another two generations. (Germond et al., 1996) No increase in chromosomal aberrations and congenital malformations. Follow-up study on 134 one-year-old children after laser-assisted hatching (LAH) as compared to controls without LAH. (Kanyo & Konc, 2003) *Some applications are country specific approved laser applications option.

What is the one thing you wish every embryologist would know about vitrification?

Embarking on a journey into the intricate world of cryopreservation, we sought wisdom from Hubert Joris, Media Research Manager at Vitrolife Group. Hubert shares his insights into the evolution of cryopreservation over the last decades.
