Why is it so critical within the media droplet for IVF success?

Controlling media droplet temperature in Petri dishes during manipulation remains challenging despite the use of heated surfaces.

The media droplet temperature is influenced by a complex interaction of heated and non-heated surfaces, evaporation, heat transfer, radiation, dish design, and setup conditions, making surface temperature measurements alone insufficient.

Temperature scale from 34 to 44 °C: arrested, optimal and abnormal embryo development
Factors affecting media droplet temperature in a Petri dish: heat radiation, evaporation, cold surroundings and heating

Metrum Genie sensor-integrated dish probes overcome these limitations by directly measuring media droplet temperature under actual operating conditions, enabling accurate temperature control and precise calibration of heating equipment.

Measuring media droplet temperature in Petri dishes involves more than simply placing a probe in the dish. The design and characteristics of the temperature probe can influence both the measurement process and the temperature reading itself.

Achieve a precise 37°C in a media droplet

Enables direct temperature measurement in media droplets using our proprietary sensor-integrated Petri dish probes. This allows embryologists to precisely fine-tune heating equipment to maintain the critical 37 °C in the media droplet

Metrum Genie app showing live incubator chamber temperature at 37.00 °C

Metrum Live turns Metrum Genie into a flexible laboratory thermometer by providing live measurements from connected sensors.

  • Connect a sensor to Metrum Genie and view precise temperature readings in the console.
  • Use multiple sensors to measure different equipment simultaneously, such as incubators, heated stages, and cryotanks.
  • Ideal for quick checks, validation, and day-to-day operations.

Metrum Live delivers immediate insight and supports routine QC.

Automated Equipment Validation verifies that the equipment operates within required temperature limits.

  • Select the equipment and sensor.
  • Define validation parameters (target temperature, acceptable deviation, and duration).
  • Start validation to validate the equipment automatically in real time.

On the Pro plan, validations can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly, ensuring routine QC is performed consistently without manual intervention. This reduces administrative workload while maintaining compliance.

Automated Calibration simplifies calibration of heating equipment.

  • Place the dish sensor to simulate media droplet measurement.
  • Position the flexible sensor on the heated surface.
  • Enter the heated stage setpoint in the Genie app.

The system measures temperatures, calculates the required offset, and provides the calibration offset. Embryologists can calibrate with minimal manual intervention, reducing complexity and improving accuracy.

Temperature Mapping evaluates temperature consistency across equipment such as incubators and heated work surfaces.

  • Create a virtual map of measurement points in the Metrum Genie app.
  • Use sensors to measure temperatures at each location (simultaneously or sequentially).
  • Generate a temperature profile showing distribution and variation.

This helps laboratories identify hotspots or inconsistencies, supporting equipment optimization and validation.

Metrum Genie automatically records data and generates structured reports for quality documentation.

  • Export reports in PDF or CSV formats.
  • Customize content within the Metrum Genie app.
  • Maintain audit-ready records for validation and QC compliance.

Automated reporting reduces documentation workload and ensures consistent record keeping, freeing embryologists to focus on core laboratory tasks.
