The Reproductive and Genetics Institute of the Chongqing Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital successfully held the 18th Chongqing ART conference from November 3-5, 2016 at the Sofitel Hotel, Chongqing, China. The conference is a national academic meeting, which showcases the latest assisted reproductive laboratory technologies. Since its inception in 1999, it has become the largest and most professional academic conference of ART in China, enjoying a good reputation and a wide range of academic influence, attracting experts from across the world.

This year's organizing committee invited the previous chair, the elect chair and the principal members of the Alpha committee to participate in the conference. Alpha is an international non-profit organization, with the primary objective of advancing the art and science of clinical embryology for the benefit of the IVF community worldwide. The joint conference’s theme, ”Frontier technology of IVF laboratory,” highlights techniques and advanced technologies for embryo selection, culture media, gamete/embryo cryobiology, laboratory quality management as well as the future directions for IVF laboratory technology.

Esco Medical, being one of the innovators of Assisted Reproductive Technologies, exhibited a series of advanced and state-of-the-art equipment including the MIRI® Multiroom Incubator, MIRI® Time-Lapse Incubator, Esco Multi-Zone ART workstation, and more. Many IVF practitioners dropped by to visit our booth for an actual demonstration of the equipment and to learn its practical advantage.

In behalf of the Esco Medical team, our sincerest gratitude to all who came. We wish that our products have given new hopes and inspiration as we work together in one goal – increasing pregnancy success rates and fulfilling every couple’s dream.
