The next generation of culture media - ART evolved
Since the introduction of the very successful GIII Series™, continued research has resulted in improved culture conditions, now available as the G5 Series™. With the G5 Series™, culture media takes another significant step forward.
The G5 Series™ is a new generation culture media system designed to improve success rates while providing a new kind of protection against detrimental factors.
The unique features of the G5 Series™ will allow embryos to develop in a more protective and supportive environment that ever before.
The G5 Series™ at a glance
Oxidative stress and how to counteract it - vitROShield
The presence of reactive oxygen species, ROS or "free oxygen radicals", has major implications in embryo culture.
The unique addition of vitROShield to the G5 Series™ culture system will help to protect against ROS. Embryo development will thereby be less vulnerable in vitro.
pHi corresponds with embryo intra-cellular conditions
Control and regulation of intra-cellular pH (pHi) is essential for normal embryo development and maintenance of viability.
In the G5 Series™, pH has been lowered to be close to the embryo physiological level.
Increased protection against infection
Infection during embryo culture is a potential risk in laboratories around the world. To protect from possible infections, the broad spectrum antibiotic gentamicin is included in the G5 Series™.
G5 - Optimising embryo development
The foundation of the G5 Series™ is built on the same ionic backbone and amino acids as the GIII Series™ media. This provides a supportive environment during the entire culture period from oocyte retrieval to transfer at the cleavage or blastocyst stage.
Easy to use
With the G5 Series™ IVF procedures have become easier, with fewer products required.
G-IVF™, a new medium for the preparation of gametes and for fertilisation, is introduced in the G5 Series™. G-IVF™ replaces two previous media in the previous series.
The handling medium G-MOPS™ has been modified to be used also for ICSI procedures.
Building on proven success
With the G5 Series™, clinics have been able to obtain higher embryo developmental rates compared to the already successful GIII Series™.
Hyaluronan for increased viability
Hyaluronan is an important component of the G5 Series™ that enhances embryo viability, cryosurvivability, and facilitates embryo implantation.
