Products and services

• MIRI M Multiroom IVF Incubator Modular multiroom IVF incubator with up to 18 independent and movable chambers that maintain stable temperature, gas, and a secure environment during movement; each chamber stable for up to 30 minutes when undocked. Includes recirculating gas system with VOC/HEPA filter and UVC light, built-in patient identification display, and digital verification/tracking software. Designed for modern IVF laboratories.
• MIRI Time-Lapse Incubator Multiroom incubator with built-in camera and microscope that captures high-resolution images of embryo development every 5 minutes without removing embryos from the incubation chamber. Provides morphokinetic data for AI-driven embryo assessment to identify healthy embryos with highest implantation probability and improve pregnancy rates.
• MIRI Evidence RFID Witnessing and Traceability System RFID-based electronic witnessing and traceability platform that eliminates manual double-witnessing errors, provides real-time mismatch prevention, chain of custody documentation, and LIMS integration for fertility clinics.
• MIRI Multiroom Incubator (Benchtop) Benchtop multiroom IVF incubator providing individual chambers for embryo culture.
• Mini MIRI Dry Incubator Compact benchtop dry incubator for IVF applications.
• Mini MIRI Humidity Incubator

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• CerclecoreTechnology or Integration · 28 January 2026Strategic partnership announced January 2026 for AI-driven customer experience solutions. Cercle provides AI technology for transforming healthcare data into actionable insights. Integration within MIRI TL Incubator enables AI-driven embryo scoring system that automatically analyzes embryo development sequences. Partnership aims to streamline customer interactions, deliver responsive personalized support, and optimize service processes for IVF clinics worldwide.
• EmbryotoolscoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 14 October 2025Embryotools, an internationally recognized laboratory operating under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards, conducted comprehensive independent validation of MIRI M Multiroom IVF Incubator. Study included mouse embryo assays, temperature and pH stability testing, resilience tests simulating power loss, and environmental fluctuation tests. Results confirmed stable, reliable, and equivalent embryo culture conditions compared to standard benchtop incubators.
• Colossal BiosciencesminorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 24 September 2025Esco Medical installed MIRI Time-Lapse Incubator at Colossal Biosciences in Dallas, Texas for continuous time-lapse imaging of embryo development. Colossal Biosciences is known for groundbreaking de-extinction initiatives including efforts to revive woolly mammoth, tasmanian tiger, and dodo species. The partnership supports research into embryonic growth and species development characterization.

Direct peers

• Vitrolife: Vitrolife is a global IVF-focused medtech providing time-lapse incubators (EmbryoScope), culture media, and ART consumables — directly competing with Esco Medical's MIRI TL, MIRI M, and Allwin consumables across the same fertility clinic customers.
• Kitazato Corporation: Kitazato is a leading Japanese manufacturer of ART consumables and devices (vitrification devices, embryo transfer catheters, IUI catheters) — directly comparable to Esco Medical's Allwin Medical consumables portfolio and active in the same global IVF clinic market.
• FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific: FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific supplies IVF culture media, ART lab equipment, and disposable devices — directly comparable to Esco Medical's combined equipment-plus-consumables offering for IVF clinics.
• CooperSurgical (including Wallace, Origio, Fertility Solutions): CooperSurgical's fertility segment offers ART lab equipment, micromanipulators, catheters, and consumables — closely overlapping Esco Medical's incubator, workstation, and Allwin consumable portfolio for the same IVF clinic end users.
• Genea Biomedx: Genea Biomedx develops IVF lab instruments (Geri time-lapse incubator, Gems culture media, cryo systems) and competes head-to-head with Esco Medical's MIRI time-lapse platform in fertility clinics globally.
• Hamilton Thorne: Hamilton Thorne manufactures precision IVF/ART equipment including laser systems, micromanipulators, and specialty instruments used in embryo culture and assessment — overlapping with Esco Medical's ART workstation and instrument ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Labconco: Labconco manufactures laboratory ventilation (laminar flow hoods), centrifuges, and specialized lab furniture — overlapping with Esco Medical's MIRI Laminar Flow Cabinet and ART workstation product lines within a broader general lab-equipment catalog.
• Merck KGaA (Life Science / Fertility Technologies): Merck's Life Science and Fertility Technologies businesses span ART media, lab instruments, and consumables across a much broader life-science portfolio — adjacent to Esco Medical's IVF focus and competing in many of the same clinic labs.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific (Thermo Scientific lab equipment): Thermo Fisher's lab equipment division supplies CO2 incubators, centrifuges, and cold-storage used in IVF workflows — comparable in product category to Esco Medical but as part of an enormous diversified life-sciences portfolio rather than an IVF-focused offering.
• Eppendorf: Eppendorf is a major manufacturer of CO2 incubators, centrifuges, and pipettes used in IVF labs, directly overlapping Esco Medical's CelCulture CO2 incubator, Versati centrifuge, and pipette-related offerings, but with a much broader general lab-equipment footprint.
