Culture media were developed for pronuclear-stage mouse embryos using simplex
optimization, which has the benefit of being able to optimize several components …

The success of clinical IVF was initially compromised by sub-optimal culture conditions,
resulting in impaired embryo development (1–6) and a subsequent loss of viability …

This study is a systematic analysis of environmental variables influencing development of 2-
