IVF will be transformed by Colossal's hydrogel/microfluidics embryo tech and new grading scale

IVF will be transformed by Colossal's hydrogel/microfluidics embryo tech and new grading scale | we have a slightly different grading scale that that is proving way more efficient and way more more importantly way more accurate in both model and non-model species. And that uh that just so just that little innovation I think could be pretty transformative to IVF.
