Embryo Lab Services

At our state-of-the-art embryo lab, we provide comprehensive services to support every stage of your fertility journey. Our advanced technologies and expert team are dedicated to maximizing your chances of a successful pregnancy.

Services We Offer

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Our lab specializes in IVF, where eggs and sperm are combined outside the body to create embryos. These embryos are then carefully cultured and monitored before being transferred to the uterus.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This technique is particularly useful for cases of severe male infertility.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
- We offer PGT to screen embryos for genetic and chromosomal abnormalities before implantation, ensuring the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer.
Embryo Cryopreservation
- Our lab provides cutting-edge cryopreservation services, allowing embryos to be frozen and stored for future use. This option is ideal for those undergoing fertility treatments or planning to preserve fertility for medical reasons.
Blastocyst Culture and Transfer
- We culture embryos to the blastocyst stage (day 5-6), which can improve implantation rates and overall success of IVF treatments.
Assisted Hatching
- Assisted hatching involves making a small opening in the embryo’s outer shell to facilitate implantation in the uterine lining, increasing the chances of pregnancy.
Sperm and Egg Freezing
- We offer advanced freezing techniques for both sperm and eggs, providing flexibility for individuals and couples planning their future family.
Time-Lapse Embryo Monitoring
- Our lab utilizes time-lapse imaging to continuously monitor embryo development, allowing for more precise selection of the best embryos for transfer.
Donor Egg and Sperm Services
- We provide access to a diverse range of donor eggs and sperm, helping individuals and couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
