IVF Incubators by Esco Medical

The number of in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics has been increasing over the years due to the rise in demand for infertility treatment. One of the main reasons for this is the growing exposure of IVF technology concepts, news, and articles through various media platforms such as television, newspapers, and social media. As a result, IVF incubator manufacturers like Esco Medical are constantly innovating to provide solutions that can help treat infertility worldwide.

What are IVF Incubators?

IVF technology requires incubators that serve as temporary housing of embryos that are transferred back to the female for implantation. These IVF incubators are designed to mimic the environment of a woman's uterus that helps in the development of the embryo. There are three types of incubators that are present in the market today: dry, humidified, and time-lapse incubators. All MIRI® IVF incubators also have a data logger system that continually monitors and documents temperature, gas flows, gas concentration, and pressure. All MIRI® IVF incubators have a variety of heating optimization plates that are compatible with the common brands of culture dishes available in the market.

Dry culture

Dry culture system is basically an embryo culture system without the presence of humidity. Incubators with this kind of culture system are most often seen in the laboratories of the United States and Europe. Dry incubators are less likely to get contaminated because bacteria cannot accumulate in them, unlike in humidified IVF incubators. These types of incubators are also easier to maintain as there is no need for regular changing and refilling of water in the humidification bottles or water pans.

MIRI® Multiroom Incubator

It is a dry IVF multiroom incubator for embryo culture with 6 independent chambers preventing cross-contamination without causing any disturbance to the neighboring chambers even when the lids are opened/closed. Having a built-in tri-gas system, the MIRI® can work on either premixed gas or pure N2 and CO2 which are cheaper and give the user more flexibility when it comes to changing culture condition protocols. The MIRI line of incubators also boasts its excellent temperature and gas recovery rates of <1 minute and <3 minutes, respectively. With its superior gas system, VOC/HEPA filtration helps to ensure recirculated gas in the incubator is clean.

MIRI® II-12 Multiroom Incubator

The MIRI® II-12 Multiroom is the latest addition to the MIRI® line of IVF incubators. This dry incubator dedicates one chamber for one patient. It has 12 chambers that are completely independent of each other. Any disruption on one chamber (e.g. temperature drop after opening the lid) has zero impact on the rest of the system. It has a touchscreen PC to control and monitor important parameters (temperature, gas concentration) simultaneously and give a visual and audible alarm to signal critical conditions. This incubator is best suited for minimal stimulation protocols having fewer eggs harvested per patient than other stimulation protocols.

Mini MIRI® Dry Incubator

For customers prioritizing footprint and affordability, The Mini MIRI® Dry Incubator is a scaled-down version of the classic MIRI® Multiroom Incubator. The Mini MIRI® has two independent chambers that have heated lids and bottoms to ensure heated lid and bottom to ensure excellent temperature uniformity and optimal culture conditions for embryo development.

Humidified Culture

Humidified culture system is the first culture system used for IVF technology incubators. This culture system was used on box-type incubators and small benchtop incubators that have humidification bottles or water pans to create the humidified environment inside the incubator.

CelCulture® CO2 Incubators

CelCulture® CO2 Incubators

The CelCulture® CO2 incubator offers rapid temperature and gas recovery, ISO Class 5 cleanliness, ISOCIDE™ antimicrobial coating, and an inner door kit to reduce contamination risk. The CelCulture® CO2 Incubator is designed to replicate the natural environment for developing embryos by maintaining humidification and low levels of oxygen. It comes in different capacity models to suit every IVF clinic needs: 50L model with 2 sections; 170L model with 4 sections; 240L model with 4 or 6 sections. This IVF incubator is certified embryo-safe, achieving 100% embryo survival on Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) testing.

MIRI® Humidity Multiroom Incubator

The MIRI® Humidity is a humidified version of the well-known MIRI® six-chamber multiroom benchtop incubator. This incubator is built on a reliable platform that allows for swift temperature and gas recovery, which is essential for optimal embryo culture. However, the MIRI® Humidity goes a step further by providing a humidified environment that can enhance the overall outcome of the embryo culture process.

The Mini MIRI® Humidity Incubator is a humidified incubator built on the robust and reliable MIRI® design. The compact design and direct heat regulation further translate to faster temperature and gas recovery.

Time-Lapse Culture

Time-Lapse culture system is the most modern type of embryo culture system available in the IVF industry. This culture system made it possible to have zero disturbance during the duration of the whole embryo culture period while having all the data needed to properly annotate embryos outside its desired culture conditions. This technology also made it possible to identify markers to perform better embryo selection in order to achieve pregnancy in the shortest time possible.

MIRI® Time-Lapse

The MIRI® Time-Lapse Incubator is a multiroom incubator with a built-in camera and microscope. Designed and manufactured in the EU, the MIRI® Time-Lapse Incubator provides high-quality time-lapse images of embryos developing in "real-time" without having to remove the embryos from the safety of the incubation chamber for manual microscopy. Time-lapse embryo monitoring provides detailed morphokinetic data throughout embryo development, which is not available on routine spot microscopic evaluation. This allows all important events to be observed, helping to identify healthy embryos with the highest probability of implantation, with the aim of achieving higher pregnancy rates. It is also possible to integrate SAFE Sens technology into the MIRI® TL and other MIRI® IVF incubators for continuous pH monitoring without opening the chamber which is a great additional feature to ensure optimal embryo development.
