An IVF lab is uniquely designed to protect your genetic materials--developing embryos, sperm samples for semen analysis and frozen eggs, for example. Our infertility center partners with an IVF lab outfitted with sterile, state-of-the-art materials and equipment:
The high standards in maintaining our “clean room” environment also apply to our process to identify and safeguard eggs, sperm and embryos.
Our center’s IVF lab provides much more than you can imagine. Yes, we support standard in vitro fertilization cycles. However, the embryologists and andrologists in the IVF lab can be found hunting for genetic disease with PGD, or injecting a single sperm into an egg during ICSI.
A single cell removed from an embryo provides a wealth of information. DNA mapping allows embryologists in the IVF lab to identify genetic problems through PGD and PGS. Preimplantation genetic screening, PGS, benefits couples at risk for chromosomal imbalances and recurrent miscarriage. With PGS, we can find embryos affected by Down’s syndrome or Turner Syndrome. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is employed when one or both partners carry a single gene defect, or inheritable genetic disease.
Male infertility is a factor in half of all cases, so our infertility center recommends semen analysis as a diagnostic benchmark. In the IVF lab, semen analysis can rule out male infertility, sperm washing improves IUI outcomes, and ICSI can help men with a very low sperm count become fathers.
