Effect of equilibration time on clinical and neonatal outcomes in human blastocysts vitrification
Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2020 Purpose Prolonged exposure to equilibration solutions may be detrimental to an embryo's developmental potential, whereas a shorter exposure may affect the penetration of cryoprotectants into blastomeres.
