Equivalency of culture media for human in vitro fertilization formulated to have the same pH under an atmosphere containing 5% or 6% carbon dioxide.
Culture media for human in vitro fertilization and early embryonic development were modified to maintain similar pH values under an atmosphere containing 5% or 6% carbon dioxide by adjusting the concentration of sodium bicarbonate. Similar results were obtained with both media groups in a mouse embryo assay and in human in vitro parameters of fertilization and early development and clinical outcomes.
