IVF incubator showdown: dry vs humidified – which grows better embryos?
NCT ID NCT07270250
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares how embryos grow in dry versus humidified incubators during IVF. Researchers will use eggs from the same person (sibling oocytes) to see which environment leads to more healthy blastocysts. The goal is to improve IVF success rates and lab efficiency. About 60 participants undergoing genetic testing of embryos will take part.
