The embryoscope doesn´t increase pregnancy rates.

Recently, it´s been published an interesting article in the journal J Assist Reprod Genet. (July, 28:569-73, 2011), which shows that pregnancy rates are similar between the embryos cultured in the Embryoscope and thos cultivated by the traditional method.

Cruz M. IVI and collaborators studied the evolution of the embryos incubated in the embryoscope and compared with the embryos in traditional incubators. Biologists evaluated a number of parameters, including pregnancy rates. There were no significant differences in any of the parameters studied, including the pregnancy rate.

Therefore, the conclusions of this study (the only one made with scientific basis) contradict the predictions that the embryoscopio could increase by 15-20% pregnancy rates.
