NCT ID NCT05488236
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to pick the healthiest embryos for IVF. Instead of the usual expensive genetic test, researchers used a machine (NMR) to analyze the fluid embryos grow in. They looked for chemical differences between normal and abnormal embryos. The goal is to make embryo selection faster, cheaper, and less invasive, potentially helping more couples have a baby. 30 people took part.
