OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of two different culture media marketed by the MediCult AS Company (Jyllinge, Denmark)-Universal IVF Medium and ISM1 Medium culture-which, in addition to glucose, pyruvate, and energy-providing components, also contain amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins, and cholesterol. DESIGN: Laboratory and retrospective clinical study. SETTING: University teaching hospital. PATIENT(S): A total of 726 patients, undergoing IVF-intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedure, comparable in mean age range, oocyte retrieval, and infertility indication, were included in the study. Laboratory quality and standard procedures were maintained unaffected. INTERVENTION(S): Oocyte retrieval, different embryo culture media. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Embryo quality, ongoing pregnancy, and implantation rate. RESULT(S): The frequency of good-quality embryos (79\% vs. 74\%) and the percentages of ongoing pregnancy (27.5\% vs. 18\%) and implantation rate (15\% vs. 10\%) were significantly higher in the group treated with ISM1 Medium rather than Universal IVF Medium. CONCLUSION(S): ISM1 Medium culture seems to improve the performance of embryonic growth and development, as well as increasing the percentage of pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcome of two different culture media marketed by the MediCult AS Company (Jyllinge, Denmark)-Universal IVF Medium and ISM1 Medium culture-which, in addition to glucose, pyruvate, and energy-providing components, also contain amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins, and cholesterol. DESIGN: Laboratory and retrospective clinical study. SETTING: University teaching hospital. PATIENT(S): A total of 726 patients, undergoing IVF-intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedure, comparable in mean age range, oocyte retrieval, and infertility indication, were included in the study. Laboratory quality and standard procedures were maintained unaffected. INTERVENTION(S): Oocyte retrieval, different embryo culture media. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Embryo quality, ongoing pregnancy, and implantation rate. RESULT(S): The frequency of good-quality embryos (79\% vs. 74\%) and the percentages of ongoing pregnancy (27.5\% vs. 18\%) and implantation rate (15\% vs. 10\%) were significantly higher in the group treated with ISM1 Medium rather than Universal IVF Medium. CONCLUSION(S): ISM1 Medium culture seems to improve the performance of embryonic growth and development, as well as increasing the percentage of pregnancy.
