The workshop was divided into two segments. The first segment featured lectures where Stein and Kristensen discussed the benefits of time-lapse embryo culture, the MIRI® TL incubation system, cleavage abnormalities in human IVF embryos, a comparison of continuous and sequential culture media, embryo selection models and the role of Morphokinetics in embryo selection. The second segment entailed hands-on interactive workshop sessions for the participants, conducted by the two guest speakers.
