Abstract: Measurement of pH in IVF-media using the blood gas analyzer (BGA) requires validation, because IVF-media is outside the intended scope of the BGA. To determine whether the Siemens Rapidpoint 500 BGA is suitable for pH measurements in IVF-media this study will validate the BGA and assess its accuracy. In this method comparison study, the pH of over three hundred IVF-media samples was measured with the BGA and a pH electrode (Hanna pH checker). The precision of both the BGA and the pH electrode were excellent (coefficient variation
