IVF lab

Human gametes and embryos cultured in vitro are extremely sensitive to oscilations in temperature, humidity, light expoosure, contaminats and phusical trauma. As such, reproductive laboratiories(RL) shall meeet several requirements with regard to design, constructive materials, equipment, illumination, temperature and humidity, safety, air quality control and monitoring, making them unique environments in biomedical sciences. Several reports suggest that toxicants(e.g., bacteria, particulate matter, dust and chemicals(voltaile oraganic compounds[VOCs])) may impact fertilization and embryo development. Although the need of specific technical requirements relating to air quality in IVF have been extensively debated, most practitioners acknowledge that more rigorous laboratory management is better pracrice and minimum standards towards air quality should be implemented^8^12.it is still a matter of debeat how high the standards for lavoratory air quality should be set, but animal experiments suggest that embryo development improve by cultivation embryos in cleanroom environments^13.
