Trigas IVF Incubator

What are IVF Incubators?

IVF incubators are one of the most critical pieces of equipment in an IVF laboratory. They provide the ideal environment for embryos to grow outside the body by maintaining precise levels of temperature, humidity, and gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. A stable environment is essential for the healthy development of embryos before transfer into the uterus.

Challenges with Older Incubators

Earlier IVF incubators were large, multi-shelf units similar in size to washing machines. These incubators stored embryos from multiple patients at once. Each time an embryologist opened the door to access embryos, the environment inside was disturbed. Restoring the correct balance of temperature and gases took time, during which embryos were exposed to less-than-ideal conditions. Frequent door openings negatively impacted embryo health and lowered pregnancy success rates.

Single Gas vs Trigas Incubators

  • Single Gas (CO₂) Incubators: Older models supplied only carbon dioxide, which was less effective at maintaining ideal embryo conditions.
  • Trigas (Low Oxygen) Incubators: Modern IVF incubators supply carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen. This tri-gas environment closely mimics the natural conditions inside the female reproductive system, supporting better embryo development and higher success rates.

Benefits of Trigas Incubators

  • Provide stable and controlled conditions for embryo growth.
  • Reduce stress on embryos caused by frequent door openings.
  • Support higher pregnancy success rates compared to older incubators.
  • Mimic natural low-oxygen conditions for optimal embryo development.
