IVF Media & Oil

IVF culture media and oil are the solutions in which gametes and embryos are handled, fertilised and grown in the IVF laboratory. The Vitrolife range covers each step — follicle aspiration, handling outside the incubator, fertilisation, sequential or single-step culture to blastocyst, enzymatic denudation, biopsy and rinsing — together with protein supplements and mineral oil overlays.
