Recently, Merck signed a global collaboration agreement with Genea Biomedx that manufactures both products.

Gavi is claimed to be the first automated vitrification instrument that uses an automated and standardized protocol to provide consistent results in blastocyst vitrification.

Vitrification is a process used in IVF to preserve human egg cells (oocytes) or embryos by cooling them to deep sub-zero degrees.

Geri is a benchtop incubator, which comprises camera system that allows scientists to view the embryo without repeatedly removing it from its optimal environment.

The company will showcase the both technologies at ESHRE in Portugal, which will be held from 14 to 17 June.
