An IVF chamber is a specialized incubator that maintains a precisely controlled environment for the growth and development of human embryos. This is crucial for the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF), a procedure that involves fertilization of eggs outside the body. The ideal environment for embryo development is similar to that of the human uterus, with a temperature of around 37°Cand a carbon dioxide concentration of around 5%. IVF chambers are equipped to maintain these conditions very precisely, ensuring that the embryos receive the optimal environment for growth and development. Temperature controlThe chamber maintains a constant temperature of 37°C, which is the same temperature as the human uterus. This is essential for the embryos to develop properly. CO2 controlThe chamber maintains a carbon dioxide concentration of around 5%, which is slightly higher than the level in the human uterus. This helps to buffer the pH of the culture medium and provide the embryos with the nutrients they need. Clean airThe chamber is filled with clean, filtered air to reduce the risk of contamination and infection. MonitoringThe chamber is equipped with sensors to monitor the temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and other environmental conditions. This allows technicians to make adjustments as needed to maintain the optimal environment for the embryos.
