Gems^_®: Your complete range of IVF and Vitrification media

Designed by users for users

Genea’s dedicated embryologists and andrologists have worked passionately in assisted reproductive technology for decades, we understand that quality culture medium is essential for the best possible outcomes for patients.  That is why we have developed, produced and used our own media formulations since 1991.  Gems^_®, our third generation culture media suite, in use clinically since 2013 and exported globally.

Optimised for every step

• The Gems^_® suite has a media for every step of the ART process from oocyte collection, sperm preparation, embryo culture (either continuous or sequential), vitrification and warming.

• An embryologist’s focus is achieving optimal culture conditions for gametes and embryos while they are in the lab. Gems^_® media has key components to support growth and maintain a constant environment especially osmolality and pH.

• To maximise ease of use Gems^_® has colour coded labels to make the products easily identifiable at a glance.

Quality Assured

• Our media is manufactured in our ISO 13485 accredited manufacturing facility in Sydney, Australia.

• Each media lot produced is QC tested for sterility, endotoxin, biocompatibility by mouse embryo assay, osmolality and pH.

• To avoid errors in use Gems^_® has colour coded labels to make the products easily identifiable at a glance.

Continuous Culture Clinical Outcomes: The proof is in the results

• We stand by our products and our results speak for themselves.

• Gems^_® Geri^_® medium allows uninterrupted culture of embryos in an optimised micro environment and results in an increase in blastocyst quality and an increase in embryo utilisation⁴.

• Our results show Geri^_® medium can be used with or without time-lapse incubation, our experience shows that care must be taken preparing for continuous culture⁴.

• This clinical study of over 40,000 embryos revealed improved embryo development and utilisation rates using a single patient-per-chamber time-lapse incubator system with single-step medium as compared with using the same time-lapse system with sequential media and with conventional culture, using a bench-top incubator with sequential media. This suggests that minimising interruption of embryos improves clinical outcomes and therefore, highlights the benefits of undisturbed in vitro culture³.
