Mervat Alkarkatli: The IVF Laboratory Clock

Mervat Alkarkatli, Group Scientific Director at Fakih IVF Fertility Center, shared on LinkedIn:

“Time in the IVF laboratory is more than a number on the clock.

It is a biological variable, a quality indicator, and a critical link between people, procedures, equipment, and clinical decisions.

I am pleased to introduce my first professional handbook:

The IVF Laboratory Clock

Timing, Workflow, and Communication Across ART Procedures

This handbook explores timing across the ART laboratory journey – from cycle readiness, oocyte retrieval, and sample preparation to ICSI, fertilization assessment, embryo culture, biopsy, cryopreservation, warming, transfer, storage, and transport.

At its centre is a simple but essential principle: every time-sensitive step should have a clearly defined biological or operational anchor, an accountable owner, appropriate environmental controls, accurate documentation, and a planned response when the expected pathway changes.

Created for embryologists, andrology teams, laboratory leaders, clinicians, quality professionals, trainees, and others committed to evidence-informed reproductive care.”
