  • Laboratory Apparatus with Two Cabinets
    Publication number: 20080213873
    Abstract: A laboratory apparatus for use in IVF treatment of infertility comprises first (10) and second cabinets (11) interconnected by a passageway (12) and a closure for closing said passageway. The first cabinet has an open front wall (13) and is arranged to allow air to be circulated within the cabinet (10). The second cabinet (11) is substantially sealed to allow the temperature within the cabinet (11) and the level of at least one gas within the cabinet (11) to be controlled, and has a transparent front wall (20) to allow the contents therein to be inspected. The apparatus thus allows oocytes to be fertilised in the first cabinet (10) and then transferred to the stable controlled environment of the second cabinet (11) where the subsequent zygotes can be grown in a controlled environment, closely resembling body conditions.
