So, all of our incubation at King's Fertility is done through time-lapse. We don't use it as an optional, extra, add-on treatment, we use it routinely for everybody. It's included in the treatment, and we don't charge anything extra. The advantages of time-lapse incubation is that we don't have to take the embryos out of the incubation, therefore, alter their temperature and gases, and therefore, we reduce the stress in the embryo and we improve the development. So that's nice. We also acquire a lot more information through time-lapse because we can watch the embryo develop 24/7. By having these extra information, we can select the best embryo more accurately, and this is always done for the best of the patient.
