G-2™ PLUS and G-2™ provides the embryo with a wide range of amino acids and hyaluronan for optimised blastocyst development.
Description : G-2 PLUS and G-2 are bicarbonate buffered media containing hyaluronan. G-2 PLUS also contains human serum albumin.
Purpose : Medium for culture of embryos from day 3 to the blastocyst stage.
Storage : Store dark at +2 to +8°C
G-2 PLUS and G-2 are two different media for culture of human embryos from the 8-cell stage on day three until the blastocyst stage. G-2 PLUS is supplemented with human serum albumin, HSA, and is ready to use. G-2 must be supplemented with G-MM™ or HSA-solution™.
Both media contains amino acids to support embryo viability and hyaluronan to improve development and cryosurvivability and to facilitate implantation. They also contain vitamins that function as antioxidants to protect the embryo against reactive oxygen species during culture in vitro.
Ensure optimal conditions before, during and after culture by using the whole G-Series. All G-Series media share the same basic composition to secure viability and implantation potential. Osmolality, pH and supporting compounds are all kept constant. This foundation prevents intracellular stresses as the embryos progress through the IVF process.
Each product in the G-Series™ is developed to resemble conditions in the female reproductive tract and fulfil embryo requirements.
G-2™Scientific summaries |
Data from two studies presented at Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Clinical Embryologist show that good quality embryo rate and blastocyst development can be improved when using G-Series culture media (G-IVF, G-1 and G-2) from Vitrolife compared to a HTF-based non-hyaluronan containing media.
G-2™Scientific summaries |
In a study by Matsuoka et al, embryo culture was done either Vitrolife’s G-Series™ culture media or a mix of sequential culture media (control). The results show that good-quality blastocyst development was more frequent after culture in G-Series media containing hyaluronan.
G-2™Scientific summaries |
A study by Zhu et al demonstrate that extended culture before cryopreservation allows for selection of viable embryos with a high chance of implantation after warming. The high blastocyst formation rate (73.8%) using Vitrolife culture media, together with an efficient cryopreservation program resulting in survival rates of >96% should eliminate any earlier concerns about blastocyst culture and cryopreservation.

A study by Kleijkers show that besides cell numbers and implantations rates, gene expression and certain pathways in preimplantation embryos are also affected by culture medium.
