Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have

Summary
This trial aims to determine if using a specific type of incubator can improve the number of embryos that reach the blastocyst stage during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. The study will
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people undergoing IVF treatment due to infertility. Participants will have their mature oocytes collected and randomly assigned to two groups, each using a different type of incubator (benchtop or box) to culture the embryos.
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare benchtop and box incubators in terms of improving the number of embryos reaching blastocyst stage during IVF. It also looks at embryology outcomes, transfer success, and pregnancy rates between the two methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves standard IVF procedures with different types of incubators rather than drugs or invasive treatments, there are no additional side effects beyond those typically associated with IVF.
