Detection apparatus for there is not wound embryo culture liquid metabolite
Technical Field
The utility model particularly relates to a detection apparatus for there is not wound embryo culture liquid metabolite.
Background
In recent years, the incidence rate of infertility is remarkably increased, and the birth problems of vast infertility patients are effectively solved by the appearance and development of human assisted reproduction technology. At present, single embryo transplantation is in great tendency, so that how to accurately select high-quality embryos for intrauterine transplantation is a scientific problem which needs to be solved urgently by clinical embryologists. The traditional morphological method adopted at present has large subjective dependence and low evaluation accuracy, and the genetic diagnosis and screening technology before implantation of the subsequently born embryo has high price, complex operation flow and certain limitation for invasive inspection in the field of assisted reproduction.
The embryo culture solution is the environment for the embryo to live and is a unique culture system different from the normal natural pregnant embryo. Metabolomics can fully reflect the dynamic change process of substances through the research on small molecule metabolites. Either combination of the two may help us to assess embryo metabolic activity and developmental potential. However, because the culture solution has small volume (about 10-30 microliter), no good culture solution metabolite detection device is applied to clinic until now.

It has the following advantages: first, compared with the prior metabolite detection technology, the infrared spectrometer has the advantages of low price, high performance and contribution to large-scale popularization. Secondly, the detection method is limited to be promoted because the volume of the embryo culture liquid is small in the past, the infrared spectrum for effectively describing the characteristics of the embryo culture liquid can be obtained only by 0.5-1 microliter of the culture liquid, the demand for the culture liquid is reduced, and the subsequent operation and research are facilitated. Thirdly, a weak airflow micro air pump is additionally arranged, and the embryo culture solution can be quickly dehydrated and dried on the premise of not blowing away the micro culture solution, so that the infrared spectrum of the embryo culture solution dry sample with high quality (high signal-to-noise ratio and high repeatability) is obtained. Due to the high signal-to-noise ratio and the high repeatability of the infrared spectrum, the method is favorable for reliably detecting the small metabolic difference of the components of the embryo culture solution under different conditions. The research and development of the technology are helpful to promote the development and application of a noninvasive embryo pre-implantation metabolite detection technology, and the high-quality embryos can be screened more accurately, simply and conveniently.
