Professional image is important for all members of the health-care team, including laboratory technicians. The image of individual members not only makes a statement about the competency of the team and the self-regard of its members, but also speaks of the way the individual represents the profession. Dexterity and skill, appearance and dress, and skills in communication all contribute to the impression a patient will have of the services received and the public image of the health-care agency. Laboratory technicians play a significant role as members of the interdisciplinary team regarding patient satisfaction in health care.

Veterinary Embryology Laboratory, Professional School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco, Sicuani-Cusco, Peru.

Currently, incubators with a time-lapse system are widely used for in vitro embryo production in several species, however, their effect on alpaca embryo development compared to conventional incubators remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare early in vitro embryo development in alpacas using a time-lapse incubator system versus a conventional incubator. Ovaries were obtained from a slaughterhouse and 1048 cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected and in vitro matured for 26 h in either a time-lapse system (n = 542) or a conventional incubator (n = 542).
