Research has shown that while the EmbryoScope offers an improvement in results for all patients, the greatest improvement is among patients who repeatedly produce multiple abnormally developing embryos. As the only west-coast clinic with an EmbryoScope, SCRC is better able to serve patients.
What is the use of Embryoscope?
What is an Embryoscope™? An Embryoscope™ is a new type of incubator that allows the embryologist to monitor embryo cell divisions while the embryos are still in the incubator. The incubator has a built-in camera that can take pictures of the embryos at timed intervals.
What is a time lapse incubator?
Time lapse incubators
A time lapse incubator has a built in microscope and camera which photographs each individual embryo every 10-12 minutes. Embryos can therefore be assessed in great detail without being disturbed and have uninterrupted culture for up to six days.
