Abstract
Ever since the birth of the first in vitro fertilization (IVF) baby in 1978, the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) has seen a bloom and have enabled millions of people worldwide to have biological children who otherwise would not have been able to do so (Andersen et al. 2008; de Mouzon et al. 2010; Ferraretti et al. 2012). Nevertheless, majority of embryos (~70 %) fail to implant and a few lead to successful pregnancy (Coughlan et al. 2014). The identification and transfer of the most viable embryo is one of the deciding factors for maximal pregnancy rates.
