There are many infertile couples who have finally chosen to use IVF technology to have a baby.
The principle of IVF is also very simple to say, similar to greenhouse seedlings. It is to let the egg and sperm synthesize the fertilized egg in vitro, and then the fertilized egg is bred into an embryo that can be implanted directly in the uterus, and then transferred back to the mother's womb. In this process, the embryonic laboratory plays a very crucial role.
What does an embryonic lab look like? Let's take a look.~
The growth base of the embryonic baby
The embryonic laboratory, known as the heart of the reproductive center, where sperm and eggs are combined for fertilization, where early embryos form, and where the hope of conception begins.
In order to ensure the success rate of embryo culture, generally a couple will cultivate multiple embryos at the same time. But when transferring, you can choose up to two embryos, where do the other embryos go? How do you preserve embryos?
Embryo preservation – frozen embryos
Frozen embryos are the only method in the world that maturely preserves reproductive function. This technique is to obtain embryos obtained by ivy tube incubation technology and store them in a liquid nitrogen environment at -196 °C for long-term preservation.
Freezing embryos is not the longer it is frozen, the worse the quality, and there is almost no difference between freezing one day and freezing for ten years.
