Abstract

Automation of oocyte maturation and embryo production techniques is a new and exciting development in the field of reproductive technologies. There are two areas where increased automation is having an impact: in the area of embryo diagnostics and in the process of embryo production itself. Benefits include decreased staffing and skill requirements for production and assessment of embryos, as well as increasing quality management systems by removing the “human” factor. However, the uptake of new technologies is likely to be slow, as costs and the conservative nature of the Assisted Reproduction Technology industry to adopt new techniques.
