• HUMDISH •

A purpose-designed sterile plastic dish for mammalian preimplantation embryo culture, especially for but not restricted to dry incubators or those with inconsistent, uncontrolled humidity levels.

Most incubators used for embryo culture miss the proper, controllable humidification system. Evaporation-related increase of osmolality may compromise the outcome of uninterrupted blastocyst cultures, resulting in tens of thousands of unsuccessful cycles every year. We have no time to wait, no money to waste for new sophisticated incubator models. We need a cost-efficient, safe, universal solution - right now.

• 

  STABLE

  Maintains high (95-98%) humidity and consistent osmolality levels between Day 1 and 7. Decreases temperature fluctuations.

• 

  SAFE and SIMPLE

  Presence of water in the outer ring indicates proper function and correct parameters.

VitaVitro® Humdish is the result of a radically new approach - a kind of Columbus’ egg. Instead of humidifying the incubator, we keep individual dishes humid. Using a large water reservoir in the outer ring and minimizing evaporation by a narrow gap between the outer wall and the lid, the humidity level remains at 96-98% between Day 0 and 7, stabilising osmolality during the whole culture period. Additionally, the surrounding water decreases temperature fluctuations caused by door openings or microscopic control (if the latter is unavoidable).
