“We have listened to our key opinion leaders (KOL) and customers intensely over the last nine (9) months since the inception of the TrakStation,” said Russ Aldrich, CEO of BCSI. “This new release provides improvements in stability and ease of use designed to make our continuous monitoring solutions easier, more functional and better suited to existing and new customers in the IVF community.”
TrakStation and TrakPod are the latest generation of continuous pH monitoring laboratory instruments from BCSI. With the capability of monitoring and logging pH data from one (1) to eight (8) chambers simultaneously. The system provides lab managers or clinicians with assurance of a stable incubator pH environment throughout the five (5) to seven (7) day IVF cycle. In contrast to systems that spot monitor pH, this unique surrogate continuous pH monitoring approach does not require opening and closing of incubator doors, thus allowing an uninterrupted incubation cycle and promoting better outcomes for IVF procedures.
The system requires no expensive calibration or adjustments during its’ use. One disposable sensor lasts the entire 7-day cycle and is replaced between cycles. A reusable QC alignment tool adjusts the instrument to factory specifications in under ten (10) seconds after each cycle is complete; the QC alignment tool is replaced annually.
