pubmed:abstractText
Using a mouse embryo culture system, several procedures and materials associated with human in vitro fertilization protocols were tested for potential toxicity. Also, quality-control assays were performed for media prepared by nine different human in vitro fertilization programs. Detrimental effects upon embryo development were observed when culture media were exposed to the following substances: surgical instruments sterilized with Cidex or Cidex-7 or sterilized with ethylene oxide after packaging in Nest Protector Packs, various brands of surgical gloves, and various synthetic materials being evaluated as possible needle or catheter "liners." Results from comparative testing of media and serum supplements prepared by different in vitro programs indicated a wide range in culture medium quality, as assayed by the ability of the reagents to support mouse embryo development. The importance of an animal model system available to all human in vitro programs for routine quality-control analysis and testing of novel uses of materials and innovative methods is discussed.
