Abstract
(EN) One or more embryos are assessed based on a density of an embryo which serves as a proxy for health or viability of the embryo. An embryo in a paramagnetic medium is introduced into a levitation device including a channel that is positioned within in a controlled magnetic field. The embryo in the paramagnetic medium is received in the channel and subjected to the controlled magnetic field in order to levitate the embryo to an equilibrium height against the force of gravity. The equilibrium height of the embryo correlates to the density of the embryo which is dependent at least in part on the lipid content of the embryo. The health or viability of the embryo is assessed based on the density of the embryo.
(FR) Un ou plusieurs embryons sont évalués en fonction d'une densité d'un embryon qui sert d'indicateur de la santé ou de la viabilité de l'embryon. Un embryon dans un milieu paramagnétique est introduit dans un dispositif de lévitation comprenant un canal positionné à l'intérieur d'un champ magnétique réglable. L'embryon dans le milieu paramagnétique est reçu dans le canal et soumis au champ magnétique réglable afin de soulever l'embryon à une hauteur d'équilibre par rapport à la force de gravité. La hauteur d'équilibre de l'embryon est en corrélation avec la densité de l'embryon qui dépend au moins en partie de la teneur en lipide de l'embryon. La santé ou la viabilité de l'embryon est évaluée en fonction de la densité de l'embryon.
