When you see the phrase "in vitro" it means 'in glass'. This is in contrast to "in vivo" which means 'in the living system'.
Thus organic chemistry began when a German chemist made urea 'in vitro' - in the laboratory. Prior to this discovery, it was thought that chemicals/compounds found in living systems, like urea, could ONLY be made by living systems.
In other usage, you may have seen "in vitro fertilization", which means that an egg was fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, rather than in the bodies of living organisms. An important example is the Panda. Apparently these bears have trouble getting pregnant and so many recent baby pandas are the result of "in vitro fertilization", and then implantation of the fertilized egg into the mother panda.
P.S. Laboratory experiments do not always involve the use of glass now, so technically
some "in vitro" work is really "in plastic".

Can I use a in vitro pregnancy test even if I am not trying an in vitro pregnancy?
Yes. In vitro means, "in glass" or "outside of the body", and In vitro pregnancy test is a test that is performed "outside" of the human body. In vitro fertilization is egg fertilization that is performed outside of the body. All home pregnancy tests are "in vitro".
What is the opposite of in-vitro?
The opposite of "in vitro" (literally in glass) is "in vivo" (in life).

Define in vitro embryo culture?
In vitro embryo culture refers to the process of growing embryos outside the organism, typically in a controlled laboratory environment. This technique is commonly used in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), where embryos are developed in culture media until they reach a suitable stage for implantation. The goal is to optimize embryonic development and improve the chances of successful pregnancy. In vitro culture allows for careful monitoring and manipulation of embryonic conditions, enhancing outcomes in reproductive medicine.
