Abstract
Daily, weekly, and regular preparations as well as establishment of standards are essential for the maintenance of ideal conditions within the embryology laboratory. Establishment of these standards should facilitate the elimination of internal laboratory factors affecting embryo quality. A rigorous assessment of internal variables allows the laboratory to focus on potential negative influences originating from outside of the laboratory. This allows the embryologist to focus on the biological variability inherent to the patients being treated at the time.
