5.4.2 Validating the temperature
The EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator must have been turned on for at least three hours before
the temperature is validated. The room temperature must be equivalent to normal laboratory
temperature. The temperature validation is performed by measuring the temperature in the culture
dish holder using a temperature probe connected to a high-precision thermometer.
• While performing this procedure, be very careful not to inadvertently touch or push the
EmbryoSlide culture dish(es) present in the culture dish holder.
• Before you start, make sure that the high-precision thermometer is calibrated according
to the manufacturer’s specifications.
