Development of a new clinically applicable device for embryo evaluation which measures embryo oxygen consumption

Does a new system—the chip-sensing embryo respiration monitoring system (CERMs)—enable evaluation of embryo viability for potential application in a clinical IVF setting? The system enabled the oxygen consumption rate of spheroids, bovine embryos and frozen-thawed human embryos to be measured, and this rate corresponded to the developmental potential of embryos. To date, no reliable and clinically suitable objective evaluation methods for...
