Noninvasive assessment of embryo quality in human in vitro fertilization : metabolomic profiling of embryo culture media with Raman spectroscopy

Introduction: Light microscopy has remained the primary tool for the assessment of embryo quality and the selection of embryos for transfer in clinical IVF practice. Recent studies have suggested that metabolomic profiling of embryo culture media can distinguish human embryos with better implantat...
