Achieving High Success in Reproductive Medicine: The Role of Modern Embryology Labs – ARC Summit
Today’s objective for reproductive endocrinologists and lab personnel is to achieve high pregnancy rates with single-term deliveries. Achieving this goal is challenging and requires strict targets set through both basic research and patient commitment. This process begins in the laboratory, which could be considered a replication of the reproductive tract within a building. Emphasis is placed on maintaining superior air quality, monitoring not only particulates but also volatile organic compounds due to their potential negative impact on embryo development. This standard is crucial for the health of the embryos and the embryologists working behind the scenes, who deserve recognition for their efforts. Modern embryology labs are equipped with sophisticated tools like incubators for growth and culture, and instruments for micromanipulations such as intracytoplasmic sperm injections and embryo biopsies, enabling these scientific advances.
