Abstract
The recent availability of benchtop incubators, which potentially allow better temperature re-equilibration, high thermal mass with reduced chamber dead space, and the option for using low-O2 gas from pre-mixed cylinders, has been promoted as beneficial for preimplantation embryo culture. However, published data comparing outcomes with benchtop incubators and standard “big-box” incubators are sparse and inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to compare fertilization rates and embryo development in human oocytes/embryos cultured in standard and benchtop incubators using sibling oocytes as their own controls.
