Clinic Departments/Treatments
| Description | Analysis |
|---|---|
| Assisted embryo (LAZT) and blastocyst (LAH) hatching | Assisted hatching of embryos at the cleavage stage and the blastocyst stage is a lab process that is performed using a special targeted laser system. |
| Blastocyst Biopsy | This technique is used prior to embryo transfer to select healthy embryos that do not carry genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities, such as thalassemia, Down syndrome, etc. |
| Blastocyst Culture | A method for selecting the best embryos, which significantly improves the pregnancy success rates for the couples who undergo it. |
| Egg and Embryo Vitrification | Vitrification is the extremely fast freezing of eggs, embryos and sperm, which prevents the formation of intracellular ice crystals. |
| Egg Microfertilization (ΙCSI/P-IMSI) | Microfertilization involves the isolation and insemination of one sperm into each egg. |
| Embryo Culture Using Time-lapse Technology (EmbryoScope Plus) | The Institute of Life has installed an innovative incubation and monitoring system for embryos, the EmbryoScope® Plus, which is the most technologically advanced incubator |
| Polarized Light Microscopy for Spindle Detection (PolarAIDE) | It allows us to clearly detect the egg spindle (DNA spindle) during microfertilization. It minimizes the risk of injury when introducing the sperm to the interior of the egg. |
| Preimplantation Genetic Screening of Chromosomes (PGT-A) | It permits selecting only embryos with the right number of chromosomes to be implanted, by extension leading to the birth of a healthy baby. |
| Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Defects (PGT-M) | In the context of assisted reproduction, the PGT-M method is used to select the embryos that do not carry defects from the carrier status of the parents. |
| niPGT-A | This groundbreaking non-invasive procedure (niPGT) eliminates the need for an embryo biopsy and facilitates access to embryos for chromosomal anomaly testing throughout all the IVF cycles. |
| Endometrial Receptivity Map (ER Map, ERA test) | It permits selecting only embryos with the right number of chromosomes to be implanted, by extension leading to the birth of a healthy baby. |
| Endometrial Immunological Testing (ImMap) | For successful pregnancy, it is important for the maternal and embryonic cells to co-exist in a fine regulation of immunological balance. |
| KIR/HLA-C Genotyping | KIR and HLA-C genotyping is a genetic tests that allows us to evaluate the risk of an embryo being rejected by the mother’s immune system. |
| Αdvanced fertility tests | Α wide range of medical exams and advanced fertility tests, both for women and men. |
