Temperature-controlled packaging for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Testing
The abbreviation IVF stands for “In vitro fertilization”. It is one of the popular assisted reproductive technologies that help infertile couples conceive. An egg is manually fertilized with sperm outside the body and then the embryo is implanted back into the woman's body.??
IVF is gaining popularity as the success rate of IVF has significantly improved over the years and as more people utilize the procedure, more people are gaining awareness and more fertility clinics are developing to meet the growing demand. There has also been an acknowledgment of male-factor infertility and an increase in acceptance of same-sex marriages. IVF has quickly become the preferred therapy for all causes of infertility.?
Good candidates for IVF are women without or with unrepairable fallopian tubes, women with ovulatory dysfunction, women with T-shaped uterus, and women with a partner or husband with a very low sperm count.? There are situations when both parents carry potential genetic defects, with a natural pregnancy there is a high risk of transferring these defects to the baby. IVF treatment allows for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) on embryos prior to their implantation into the uterus. This testing can identify embryos with chromosomal and genetic defects; these candidates are not chosen for implantation.?
The IVF process also involves a number of blood tests to examine ovarian reserve, detect a wide spectrum of infections, and diseases, identify certain proteins, and complete blood counts. Additionally, urine sample testing is conducted for the egg donors for drug screening, and semen tests are conducted on the male parent for potential male infertility.?
The IVF industry relies heavily on temperature-controlled packaging solutions for the safe and effective transportation of blood samples, urine samples, semen samples, and embryo biopsy samples that are needed during the IVF cycle. These solutions play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the samples during transportation, ensuring that they arrive at the diagnostic laboratory in optimal condition for accurate analysis and testing. Temperature-controlled packaging is critical for IVF Testing because it helps to maintain the viability of samples and enhances the accuracy of diagnosis.
