A number of books have been published on the scientific aspects of assisted
reproduction. However, they have been mainly aimed at the experienced practitioner alone, with limited benefit to those working in ancillary areas relevant to the IVF
unit in its entirety. In contrast, the primary objective of this book is to provide an
easy to read, comprehensive guide to establishing and managing an IVF unit from
its very inception, with an emphasis on quality control. Therefore, an attempt has
been made to direct the material at a broad readership, including those in the clinic,
the laboratory, marketing, and IT.
While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in this
book is as up to date as possible, it should be noted that manufacturers and distributors reserve the right to change product specifications and discontinue product lines
without prior notice. New products will invariably be introduced in the future, and
it is hoped that future editions of this book will address such innovations. The editors welcome feedback and further discussion regarding any of this book’s content.
