VIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF IN VITRO CULTURED HUMAN EMBRYOS FROM THE CULTURE MEDIUM

摘要

The non-invasive method of assessing the reducing potential of culture medium of in vitro cultured embryos as part of an ART procedure serves as an alternative or supportive method to assess the viability of in vitro cultured embryos without doing any ham to the embryos.
