As part of our commitment to providing the highest standard of care, our state-of-the-art IVF laboratory is equipped with some of the most advanced embryology technologies available. Our advanced embryology services are not offered as optional extras – many are included as standard, because we believe every patient deserves access to the very best from the start.
As part of our commitment to providing the highest standard of care, time-lapse embryo monitoring is included as standard with all IVF treatment packages.
Our IVF laboratory uses a state-of-the-art time-lapse imaging incubator, allowing embryos to develop in a stable, undisturbed environment while continuous images are captured throughout their development.
This technology creates a detailed video of each embryo, enabling our expert Clinical Embryologists to review every stage of development without removing embryos from the incubator.
By combining their extensive expertise with advanced AI-assisted embryo assessment, our team can identify the embryo with the highest potential for implantation.
This personalised approach supports informed embryo selection and helps maximise the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.
EmbryoGlue® is included as standard with all of our IVF treatment packages. This specialised embryo transfer medium is enriched with hyaluronan, a naturally occurring substance found within the reproductive tract.
Hyaluronan helps create a supportive environment for the embryo at the time of transfer and may enhance embryo implantation. By incorporating EmbryoGlue® into every treatment cycle, we aim to optimise the conditions for successful implantation and pregnancy.
For selected patients undergoing IVF or ICSI treatment, ZyMōt® sperm selection may be recommended to help identify the healthiest sperm for fertilisation. This advanced technology helps select highly motile sperm with lower levels of DNA damage, which may improve treatment outcomes in some cases.
Our fertility specialists and embryologists will advise whether ZyMōt® may be beneficial based on your individual circumstances.
PGT-A: For selected patients, Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) may be considered alongside IVF treatment. This involves taking a small sample of cells from the embryo (embryo biopsy) to assess whether it has the correct number of chromosomes.
PGT-A can help identify chromosomally normal embryos for transfer and may be beneficial in some clinical situations. However, it is not suitable or recommended for everyone. Your consultant will discuss whether PGT-A may be appropriate based on your individual circumstances.
PGT-M and PGT-SR: Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M) and Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR) are specialised genetic tests available for patients with a known inherited genetic condition or chromosomal rearrangement.
Following embryo biopsy, embryos can be tested to identify those unaffected by a specific genetic disease or chromosomal abnormality before transfer. These treatments are only suitable for selected patients and require detailed genetic and fertility counselling. Your consultant will discuss whether PGT-M or PGT-SR may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Patient safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our laboratory uses an electronic witnessing system (RFID technology) to provide continuous identification and traceability of eggs, sperm and embryos throughout every stage of treatment.
In addition, all critical laboratory equipment is independently monitored 24 hours a day to ensure optimal conditions are maintained.
These advanced safety systems help minimise the risk of errors and provide reassurance that your reproductive cells and embryos are protected throughout their journey in our care.
