Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to culturing dishes, which will be used for long-term, uninterrupted culturing of embryos in a controlled environment. The dishes will provide the embryos with ample amounts of culture media, with an oil overlay, to protect them from environmental impact, from contaminants, and will hold the embryos in a safe environment which will protect them from the effects of disruptions such as handling. The dishes contain uniquely designed specimen well bottoms which will allow accurate and repeated locating of the embryos as well as improving the imaging quality and the use of higher magnifications. This allows continual and repeated imaging of the embryos, data logging, aiding in the selection process, and will give the embryos a greater likelihood of improved growth, reimplantation capabilities and will increase successful outcomes, results and a greater likelihood of live births in this IVF environment.
