  • Summary

    Sperm motility is an important factor for successful fertilization and embryo development. If a patient presents only immotile sperm in the ejaculate or in a testicular sample, a viability test can help to identify among the immotile sperm those that are viable and suitable for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Different sperm viability tests have been introduced, and if they are applied properly, there is a good chance for successful treatment.

  • Summary

    One of the most innovative changes to the practice of human embryo culture was the introduction of sophisticated time-lapse imaging (TLI) systems that eventually became part of the incubation unit. TLI allows continuous, uninterrupted monitoring of embryo development. Embryo selection at either the cleavage or the blastocyst stage using algorithms developed with tens of thousands or more of embryos with known implantation is robust and repeatable. The technology has continued to evolve, with improvements to the physical technology as well as software enhancements, including artificial intelligence (AI)-based embryo selection algorithms and machine learning.

Principles of IVF Laboratory Practice

  • In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure practised worldwide, with patients and practitioners expecting higher live birth rates and excellent standards of quality as methodologies become more established. This practical book covers every stage in the life of an IVF laboratory, from designing and planning the laboratory to training the embryologists and ongoing management and troubleshooting, providing step-by-step protocols for today's best practice. Chapters follow the same structure, allowing readers to translate complex and specialized procedures into a standard workflow. Several new chapters are included in this second edition, including descriptions of the protocol for piezo-ICSI, safe and effective cryostorage of embryos, and how to manage emergency situations in the IVF laboratory. Written by an international team of experts, this is an exemplary portfolio of techniques, providing a good foundation of working practice for both new and experienced embryologists.

  • Since the first successful human in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in 1978, IVF has transformed from an experimental procedure to an established standard of care that is practised throughout the world. As the proven methodologies become more established, patients and practitioners expect higher live birth rates and excellent quality controls. This practical book covers every stage in the life of an IVF laboratory, from designing and planning the laboratory to training the embryologists and ongoing management and troubleshooting, providing step-by-step protocols for today's best practice. Complex and specialized procedures are described by experts in the respective fields using a common structure, which allows the reader to translate into standard operating procedures. The editors bring together a portfolio of techniques that will work in almost every laboratory, providing a foundation of good working practice for both new and experienced embryologists.
