pH Monitoring in Embryo Culture Conditions
During this webinar, we shared some of these pH findings in order to better demonstrate how incubator equipment and common lab operations play a role in maintaining pH in media samples.
Embryology Specialist Susan Olds discusses lab results and examples of pH profiles, both in large format and benchtop (humidified and non-humidified) incubators. The webinar is concluded with a Q&A session at the end.
