G-TL™
The first culture medium specifically designed for time-lapse.
Description G-TL is a bicarbonate buffered medium containing hyaluronan and human serum albumin for culture of embryos from fertilisation to the blastocyst stage and for transfer. Gx-TL has a unique combination of triple antioxidant protection for improved embryo viability.
Purpose Medium for culture of embryos from fertilisation to the blastocyst stage.
Application For use after pre-equilibration at +37°C and 6 % CO2.
Storage Store dark at +2 to +8°C
- Description: Bicarbonate buffered medium containing Hyaluronan and Human serum albumin.
- Description: Bicarbonate buffered medium containing hyaluronan, human serum albumin, gentamicin and antioxidants for culture of embryos from fertilisation to the blastocyst stage and for embryo transfer.
- Application: For use after equilibration at +37°C and 6 % CO2.
For truly undisturbed time-lapse culture
Time-lapse culture removes time limits and stresses from embryos during assessment while adding power to classic morphology. G-TL is a medium in the G-Series™ designed to optimise the use of time-lapse technology, allowing truly undisturbed time-lapse culture.
Gx-TL has a unique triple antioxidant protection to improve embryo viablity. Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alpha-Lipoic Acidand N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine are working together to protect the embryo from oxidative stress.
Gx-TL with triple antioxidant protection
Reactive oxygen species are ubiquitous throughout any given IVF cycle. And they pose a significant threat to your embryo culture. To keep your embryos out of harm’s way, we have developed a unique triple antioxidant protection for improved embryo viability. The three antioxidants have been added to our culture media, Gx-TL, to form a protective barrier against oxidative stress.

Balancing stresses
G-TL provides uninterrupted culture conditions in an optimised culture environment to maximise embryo viability. The balanced mix of amino acids in G-TL is based on new knowledge about embryo metabolism and consumption of media constituents1. G-TL is designed to reduce ammonium load from breakdown products, while providing an optimised supply of amino acids for development.
G-TL has been shown to give high results when compared to sequential culture systems as well as monophasic culture systems.

Time-lapse technology triggers new requirements on embryo culture media
The introduction of time-lapse technology has reduced the need of handling the embryo outside the incubator. Time-lapse technology has given a unique possibility to balance metabolic stress against less handling stress during embryo culture. Learn more in this blog post.

G-TL supports blastocyst development in large volume
Document and Ref: In a study presented at the ACE meeting in the UK, Shaw and co-workers compared single step time-lapse medium (Vitrolife, G-TL) with sequential series media (Sage, Quinn’s advantage) in large volume culture as well as micro drop culture. They found significantly higher day 5 blastocyst development rate in the G-TL group in both large and small volume culture.
