In this way, t the embryologist can distinguish and choose between normal developing embryos with good implantation potential, and embryos developing with a risk of implantation failure. This means that by choosing IVF treatment using the EmbryoScope® time-lapse system, both the patient and the clinic staff have the best options for selecting the most viable embryo to transfer, leading to higher rates of IVF success.
