Time Lapse Imaging means it is a close incubator with internal camera system where we can see the development of embryo from day 0 to Day 5. There is no need to open the incubator
Important things which can be only analyzed by this technique are Time Zones of
​Fertilization (Day 0 to Day3)
Compaction (Day 4)
Blastulation (Day5)
Expansion timing on Day 5
T5 Scoring system
T8 Scoring system
Kids scoring system
Irregular cleavage
Multi Nucleation
Vacuolation
These can judge the best selection of embryo. Advantage: – Not required outside removal of embryo
Close Monitoring
Best Selection Morphokinetics
Always have a better chance to select best embryo.
Assisted hatching: “Hatch means to come out & get established”
It is a scientific artificial technique in which hole is made in the outer layer of the embryo called zona.
So it will come in contact with the implantation site means endometrium.
It required laser – at WINGS we have best laser system to cut the embryo
Only required
i) Transferring freeze thaw embryo when the outer layer zona is thick
ii) When we do PGS/PGD.
Hatching required in freezed embryo because the process itself make the embryo’s zona harder.
