Impact of Culture Conditions on the Embryo Quality

January 10, 2013 updated by: Thomas D'Hooghe, University Hospital, Gasthuisberg
The purpose of this study is to compare different culture conditions. The effect of the type of incubator (standard versus mini-incubator) and the effect of the oxygen concentration (5% versus 20%) will be evaluated on the embryo quality
