A Single Medium vs. Sequential Media for Embryo Culture
“… in order to optimize mammalian embryo development in culture, sequential media are required, each designed to meet the changing requirements of the developing embryo.”
(Gardner and Lane, In Principles of Cloning, 187-213, 2002)
“The popularity of this conviction is due to its intuitive appeal, but critical examination shows that it is not supported by direct experimental evidence”
(Biggers et al., Hum Reprod 20, 3376-84, 2005)
![Page 5: A Unified Approach to Human Embryo Culture Don Rieger, Ph.D. Vice President, Research Development LifeGlobal LLC](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081401/5a4d1ba47f8b9ab0599c8a69/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A single medium can be used for culture from the zygote to the blastocyst stage
Changing the medium is a stress on the embryo

Conclusion
A single medium (Global) is as good as, or better than,
sequential media for development of the human embryo to the
blastocyst stage

The global® Family of Media
ObjectiveTo maintain, as closely as possible, the same medium throughout all stages of
gamete and embryo handling and culture
In order toMinimize the stress of changing from one
medium to another
