**NEW** pH Monitoring Practices and Benefits

Controlled embryo culture conditions are critical for optimal success rates within the in vitro fertilization (IVF) lab. The daily quality control required to track culture conditions in real-time is labor-intensive, costly, or misleading about true culture conditions. In this white paper, we discuss fundamentals behind the pH data point, the effects that laboratory staff and equipment have on media pH and discuss suggestions for pH value trending in embryo culture labs. pH trending data was collected using the SAFE Sens® TrakStation® pH monitoring product.

pH Monitoring Practices and Benefits
pH Profiles White Paper

Media pH is dynamic and changes during embryo culture. With the SAFE Sens® TrakStation® it is now possible to monitor this dynamic pH profile. We wanted to share some of these pH findings in order to better demonstrate how incubator equipment and common lab operations play a role in maintaining pH.

Lab data is presented from the following four common incubator types

  1. Humidified Cabinet incubators which use Thermal Conductivity CO2 sensors
  2. Humidified Cabinet incubators which use Infrared CO2 sensors
  3. Humidified benchtop incubators
  4. Dry benchtop incubators

What Will You Learn With pH Monitoring?

The TrakStation® pH monitoring system takes the guesswork out of your final media pH value using our proprietary fluorescent dye technology. Our system reacts to the shifting chemistry in the medium, meaning that changes caused by your incubator equipment will be reflected in the pH value collected and stored every 30 minutes for up to 7 days.
