This observational study uses discarded embryos to improve laboratory techniques and technology related to human embryo development and assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Researchers are testing methods for freezing embryos, developing cell surgery and micromanipulation techniques, and optimizing ways to determine genes and chromosomes. They are also assessing laboratory equipment and staff proficiency, analyzing early embryo development, and creating new methods to increase embryo survival rates. The study aims to develop non-invasive tests to predict embryo quality and IVF success. Adults aged 18 to 65 years, of all genders, can potentially join. The main goal is to evaluate methods for freezing embryos throughout the study duration. The current status of this study is unclear.
