Even where something once seemed impossible, these methods can make it possible. That is the essence of the contribution advanced laboratory techniques bring — they represent a major breakthrough for both doctors and patients. Why? Because these precise methods can solve cases that were previously considered hopeless. Take a look at what makes them so effective and how they can support your journey.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A Method with Over 95% Fertilization Success
For whom: ICSI is intended for couples facing issues with sperm quality or sperm motility.
How it increases the chance of success: The embryologist selects a single — the best possible — sperm cell and injects it directly into the egg, maximizing the chances of fertilization even when sperm quality is low.
Prolonged Cultivation
For whom: Prolonged cultivation is ideal for couples who want to maximize the chances of successful implantation by selecting the strongest and most developed embryos.
How it increases the chance of success: It allows embryos to grow in laboratory conditions until the blastocyst stage (on day 5 or 6 after fertilization). This helps identify which embryos are of higher quality — meaning they have greater potential for implantation.
Microfluidic Sperm Sorting
For whom: This technology is designed for couples dealing with sperm-quality issues, such as low motility or a high percentage of damaged sperm.
How it increases the chance of success: The method separates healthy, motile sperm from damaged or less viable ones based on their ability to pass through microfluidic channels. The result is a selection of high-quality sperm, significantly increasing the chances of successful fertilization and healthy embryo development.
EmbryoGlue: Proven to Increase Success Rates by Up to 10%
For whom: EmbryoGlue is suitable for all couples undergoing IVF, especially those who have experienced unsuccessful implantation attempts in the past.
How it increases the chance of success: EmbryoGlue contains substances that support embryo implantation into the uterine lining. It enhances the embryo’s ability to adhere to the uterine wall, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful implantation.
Time-Lapse Monitoring
For whom: Embryo monitoring (time-lapse) is ideal for all couples undergoing IVF, particularly those facing repeated implantation failures, with a history of miscarriage, or those who need a more detailed assessment of embryo quality and development.
How it increases the chance of success: This technology enables continuous observation and recording of embryo development from fertilization to transfer, giving embryologists a detailed overview of each embryo’s progression.
Assisted Hatching
For whom: Assisted hatching is suitable for couples whose embryos fail to implant successfully, often due to a thicker or harder outer shell of the embryo.
How it increases the chance of success: Before embryo transfer, the doctor creates a tiny opening in the embryo’s outer shell. This helps the embryo “hatch” more easily and improves its chances of successful implantation.
