After fertilisation, embryos are grown in specialised incubators that imitate the environment of the body. Stable temperature, gas levels and clean handling are essential for healthy embryo development.
Why controlled culture matters
- Maintains steady temperature and gas levels
- Reduces exposure to light and air changes
- Allows scheduled observation and grading of embryos
- Supports culture to the blastocyst stage when appropriate
