Nairobi IVF is proud to house the Embryoscope+, an innovative technology revolutionising embryo culture and selection in our laboratory.
Time-lapse technology for embryo development & selection
EmbryoScope+ is an innovative time-lapse technology used to carefully monitor and analyse the development of embryos for optimal selection of the embryo most likely to achieve a pregnancy. This next-generation technology combines an incubator, high resolution camera and computer software to automatically take an image of an embryo up to every 7 minutes.
The use of time-lapse imagery is becoming widely recognised in assisted reproductive technology providing a wide range of clinical, workflow and data management advantages over traditional methods.
> Reduced handling: Scientists can review the development of embryos at any point in time without removing them from their incubators.
> More monitoring: Scientists can analyse more than 7200 minutes of continuously recorded data of embryo development compared with the standard 6-10 minutes.
> Better embryo selection: By obtaining accurate, in-depth data scientists can now use selection and de-selection criteria to try and identify the best embryo for transfer.
