In this research, our team evaluated and compared the physico-chemical characteristics (including viscosity, density and POV levels) of 13 different commercial oils and their role on stabilising the culture conditions (temperature, pH and osmolality). In addition, a very sensitive mouse embryo assay (MEA) optimized specifically to detect toxicity in oil samples was applied to assess the quality of the different oils tested.
Oil is a key parameter of the embryo culture system and thus we believe results will be very interesting both for Embryologists and Manufacturers in the IVF field.
