Raman spectrum: A potential biomarker for embryo assessment during in vitro fertilization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the study was to investigate whether Raman spectrum is consistent with the morphological scoring of the embryo of day 3 during in vitro fertilization (IVF). The spent culture media of embryo of day 3 from 10 patients were collected and analyzed. The samples were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and graded according to the standard embryo scoring system simultaneously. Data showed that the Raman spectra obtained from the droplet of media were useful, as they can act as the characteristic signature for protein and amino acids. The Raman biospectroscopy-based metabonomics profiling of spent media was consistent with the result of conventional morphological evaluation. In conclusion, this technology offers great potential for the development of tools allowing rapid non-invasive assessment of the quality of embryo of day 3 during IVF.

Embryo quality is crucial to the outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF); however, the ability to precisely distinguish the embryos with higher reproductive potential from others is poor. Morphologic evaluation used to play an important role in assessing embryo quality, but it is somewhat subjective. The culture medium is the immediate environment of the embryos in vitro, and a change of the su...
