In Ovoclinic’s laboratories, highly qualified professionals work tirelessly to offer the best and highest success rates in assisted reproduction treatments. A sensitive environment that requires strict protocols to ensure the viability of gametes and embryos.
To ensure an optimal laboratory state, countless quality controls are performed to ensure that the results of analyses, cultures, samples, or oocyte thawing are outstanding. This continuous monitoring of every environmental variable – volatile organic compounds (VOCs), air, temperature, humidity, CO2 levels – allows the embryologist to work with complete confidence in every process.
In this blog, and in relation to the World Quality Day celebrated on November 14 each year, we will explore how Ovoclinic ensures environmental quality in its laboratories, as well as the tools used for air optimization.
Laboratory Safety
As we mentioned, laboratories are sensitive spaces that must be carefully monitored so that no agent alters the stability and purity of the air, which could compromise the results of the techniques and treatments used.
These precise protocols are managed by the laboratory staff: embryologists and laboratory technicians.
They themselves, trained and qualified for this, check and verify environmental quality using different tools that we will explore below.
Ensuring Environmental Quality
The Ovoclinic laboratories are equipped with the latest advancements and innovations in reproductive health. This includes a tool capable of measuring and controlling the air quality in an indoor space to maintain optimal sterile conditions free from any embryotoxic risk.
This device, placed inside the laboratory, monitors air quality every 30 seconds throughout the 24 hours a day, without rest or interruption. If the tool detects a decline in environmental quality according to the preset parameters, it emits an alarm signal, allowing swift action to correct the alteration, as well as detecting the cause of the alert.
Easy to use and understand for qualified professionals, it delves into data to observe trends, perform comparisons, and identify potential critical points. Additionally, it provides real-time advanced analysis and identifies potential improvements in ventilation rates if necessary.
This latest advancement implemented in Ovoclinic’s laboratories ensures environmental quality, providing security and sustainability, while offering Ovoclinic’s embryologists the best tools to maximize treatment success rates.
How to Improve Environmental Quality?
In Ovoclinic’s laboratories, the commitment to gamete safety is of utmost importance. In addition to the measures mentioned earlier, systems exist that improve air quality.
Inside the laboratory, there is a device that serves a specific and essential function: disinfecting the air using a low-energy plasma type that eliminates viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
These devices serve to recirculate the air and are not harmful to people, as they do not contain harmful byproducts. These incorporated tools ensure optimal environmental quality and provide safety in each process carried out by Ovoclinic’s embryologists.
