How does the speed of pipette insertion affect fertilization outcomes ?
  • Too Fast: High shear stress causes membrane tearing and spindle disruption.

  • Too Slow: Prolonged contact increases oocyte exposure outside the incubator, elevating ROS risk.

  • Ideal: A consistent moderate speed—penetrate the zona in ~1 s, then advance into the cytoplasm in 0.5–1
