TABLE II.
The effect of CPA loading time on re-expansion and hatching rates of vitrified–warmed blastocysts in the microfluidic approach and the manual method. Values with superscripts a–c are significantly different (mean ± SD, P < 0.05).
| Groups | Re-expansion rate (%) | Hatching rate (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual CPA loading | 97.40a ± 1.53 | 44.40a ± 5.69 | |
| On-chip CPA loading | 6 min | 86.61b ± 3.25 | 22.73b ± 1.90 |
| 9 min | 87.03b ± 3.78 | 26.18b ± 3.05 | |
| 12 min | 96.07a ± 1.88 | 38.80a ± 1.02 | |
| 15 min | 83.35b ± 2.17 | 25.52b ± 3.34 | |
| 18 min | 84.06b ± 3.08 | 17.01c ± 0.85 | |
