(PharmaNewsWire.Com, December 15, 2017 ) In-vitro fertilization (IVF) involves the fertilization of ovum using laboratory settings followed by implantation into uterus. In-vitro fertilization is also known as assisted reproductive technology. The process involves the collection of matured healthy eggs and sperms from the partners, or known or anonymous donors. These eggs get fertilized using laboratory reagents & media and instruments. Fertilized eggs (embryos) are implanted into uterus for the continuation of development of embryo to child. One cycle of in-vitro fertilization takes around 10-15 days.
IVF is most widely accepted method for the fertility treatments in clinical industry and helpful for the couples with infertility problems, single mothers, as well as LGBT communities. The major product categories that assist in-vitro fertilization method include reagents & media (such as embryo culture media, sperm processing media) and instruments (sperm separation system, cryosystems).
