Our Embryology LAB

What Happens in the Embryology Lab?

The embryology lab is the hub of all IVF-related processes, where eggs and sperm are handled with the utmost care and precision. Our expert embryologists oversee every aspect of the process, from fertilization to embryo development and transfer.

Key Functions of Our Lab:

1. Egg Retrieval and Handling:
   After eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, they are carefully examined, assessed for quality, and prepared for fertilization.
2. Sperm Preparation and Analysis:
   Sperm is collected and processed to ensure the healthiest and most motile sperm are used for fertilization. We employ techniques like Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) for male infertility cases, where a single sperm is injected directly into the egg.
3. Fertilization Process:
   The moment fertilization occurs is one of the most critical steps in the IVF process. In the lab, eggs and sperm are combined, and our embryologists monitor this process to ensure successful fertilization.
4. Embryo Development and Monitoring:
   Once fertilization has taken place, the embryos are incubated under controlled conditions for 2 to 6 days. Our embryologists closely monitor embryo growth, assessing their quality and viability before selecting the best embryos for transfer.
5. Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT):
   For patients at risk of genetic conditions, we offer Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to screen embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before they are transferred, ensuring a healthier pregnancy and reducing the risk of miscarriage.

Advanced Technologies in Our Lab

At Viva Fertility Clinic, we utilize the latest technology to ensure the highest standards of care in our embryology lab. Some of the advanced equipment and techniques we employ include:

• Time-Lapse Imaging: This technology allows us to continuously monitor the development of embryos without disturbing them, providing valuable insights into their growth and selecting the most viable embryos for transfer.
• Embryo Freezing and Cryopreservation: Our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art cryopreservation facilities that allow embryos, eggs, and sperm to be frozen for future use. This provides flexibility and higher success rates in subsequent IVF cycles.
• Air Quality and Lab Environment: The air quality in the lab is meticulously controlled to minimize contaminants, ensuring an optimal environment for embryo development. A clean and sterile environment is critical for the success of IVF procedures.
