Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Blastocyst Development rate

    Defined as the proportion of blastocysts formed on day 5 or 6

    5 - 6 days

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Fertilization rate

    1 day

  • Cleavage rate

    3 days

  • Blastocyst Quality rate

    5 - 6 days

  • High Quality Day 3 rate

    3 days

Study Arms (2)

Dish no.1

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Sibling oocytes were randomly allocated for culture in Dish 1 (Microdrop GPS Dish) from the ICSI procedure until the blastocyst stage.

Device: Microdrop GPS dish

Dish no.2

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Sibling oocytes were randomly allocated for culture in Dish 1 (16 well BIRR Dish) from the ICSI procedure until the blastocyst stage.

Device: 16 well BIRR dish

Interventions

The µDrop GPS® micro-wells dish is specifically designed for oocyte and embryo handling and culture. The sloped concave micro-well bottoms of the µDrop GPS® dish allow oocytes and embryos to settle at a central location away from the well walls. The concave nature of the wells provides the thinnest well bottom possible, helping to reduce refraction and allow for optimal visualization. The wells may reduce droplet collapsing/mixing, offer better orientation/optics, and reduce set-up/observation time.

Dish no.1

The 16-Well BIRR Dish is a high-quality 3D culture dish designed for optimal embryo handling and identification in IVF. It features well-numbering (1-16) for clear tracking, a large labeling area, and an expanded working space for better accessibility. Its 16 wells allow for increased wash drops and single embryo culture, reducing the number of dishes needed per IVF cycle. Rigorously tested (MEA+, LAL, and SMA per lot), it ensures safe and efficient embryo culture.

Dish no.2
