Infertility

Will the introduction of automated ART laboratory systems render the majority of embryologists redundant?

IVF techniques have changed over time with the aim of improving clinical results. Today, embryology is facing a change common to most areas of medicine, the introduction of automation. The use of automated systems in the IVF laboratory is already happening, for example, with electronic witnessing and the ranking of embryos according to their implantation potential. It is expected that in the near ...
