Embryology
Choosing the best embryo for transfer is one way to improve your pregnancy rates and lower the risks of early abortions. Participants get an interactive training to grade embryos in all stages of embryo development from gamete to blastocyst stage via time laps systems or on separate time point.
To achieve these perfect embryos small decisive details of media handling are demonstrated. Another part of this module includes culture conditions, embryo handling and quality control to get the best results. Incubation techniques are discussed in depth to establish your way in your lab.
