Training Protocol
from Section 1 - Starting a New Laboratory and Training Protocols
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2023
The preparation of a clean, highly motile sperm sample is an important part of a successful in vitro fertilization (IVF) program. Preparing sperm samples for IVF is also one of the first skills taught to junior embryologists and can help set both the tone and standard for how the remainder of their embryology training will occur. In addition to training junior embryologists on how to manipulate and process the sperm sample, it is also crucial that they are taught the importance of good quality control, correctly labelling and sample identification, proper documentation, and problem-solving skills. The purpose of this brief chapter is to help identify how to help train a junior embryologist to prepare sperm for IVF, rather than simply provide protocols for sperm preparation.
