Correct storage method of IVF consumables
As an important achievement of modern medicine, the technology of IVF is increasingly valued and pursued by the majority of families. In order to ensure the success rate of IVF and the safety of mothers and infants, it is essential to store IVF consumables correctly. The following will elaborate on how to store IVF consumables correctly from four aspects: environment, temperature, humidity and hygiene.
1. Ensure that the storage environment is clean and tidy
The environment for storing IVF consumables should be kept clean and tidy to avoid dust, debris and other pollution. First, choose a well ventilated storage area to maintain air circulation and reduce the opportunities for mold and bacteria breeding. Secondly, pay attention to cleaning in the storage area and clean it regularly to avoid the accumulation of dust and bacteria. In addition, it is necessary to avoid storing sundries and other drugs to prevent cross contamination.
In addition, when storing test tube baby consumables, they should be placed in clean and sealed containers to prevent external pollution. It is better to select non-toxic and harmless plastic or glass products as the container material, and at the same time, ensure the tightness of the container to avoid the invasion of moisture and dust.
2. Control storage temperature
The storage temperature of IVF consumables is one of the key factors. Most IVF consumables need to be stored at low temperature to maintain their effectiveness and stability. Generally speaking, - 20 ℃ is the common low temperature storage temperature, but the specific product specification shall prevail.
In order to control the storage temperature, special low-temperature refrigerator or refrigerator can be selected to ensure constant temperature. During the storage process, attention should be paid to avoiding violent temperature fluctuations, so as not to affect the quality of consumable products. In addition, the storage area should be far away from heat sources, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature environment, and maintain a stable low temperature.
3. Control storage humidity
Humidity is another important factor that needs to be controlled. Excessive humidity will cause problems such as moisture, deformation and corrosion of IVF consumables, which will affect their use effect. Generally speaking, the humidity of stored IVF consumables should be controlled between 30% and 60%.
In order to control the storage humidity, first select the appropriate storage location. Avoid storing in wet places, such as toilets, near water sources, etc. Secondly, humidity regulators or desiccants can be used and placed in storage containers for moisture absorption or dehumidification. In addition, regularly check the humidity of the storage area to ensure that the humidity is within the appropriate range.
4. Do a good job of health protection
In the storage process of IVF consumables, health protection is particularly important. Wash hands thoroughly before storage and use to ensure they are clean. At the same time, wear gloves and masks to avoid cross contamination of respiratory tract and skin. The gloves shall be disposable gloves of appropriate size to avoid skin irritation.
In addition, storage containers should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to avoid the breeding of miscellaneous bacteria. Alcohol wiping or special disinfectant can be used for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to the service life of the product and avoid using expired or damaged IVF consumables.
Summary
Proper storage of IVF consumables is critical to ensure the success rate of IVF and the safety of mothers and infants. The quality and effectiveness of IVF consumables can be effectively protected by ensuring that the storage environment is clean and tidy, controlling the storage temperature and humidity, and doing a good job in health protection. When using IVF consumables, families should strictly follow the storage requirements to ensure the smooth process of IVF.
