It is essential to understand how IVF technologies may positively impact the IVF outcomes and success. Let’s learn about the IVF technologies Alpha has to offer!
Intracyctoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- Often used technique in IVF.
- In ICSI, a single sperm is injected into the cytoplasm of the egg for fertilisation.
Timelapse Culture System
- It is used to carefully monitor and analyse the development of embryos.
- Automatically take image of each developing embryo every 10 minutes.
- Provides an undisturbed stable environment for embryos = Minimizing stress to the embryos.
- Reduced handling: Embryos can be viewed at any time without removing them from the safe environment of their incubators.
- More monitoring: More than 7200 minutes of an embryo’s development can be looked at as compared to conventional culture.
Artificial Intelligence
- Embryo selection tool in IVF.
- A software tool to analyse and select the most viable embryo for transfer. It gives an overall assessment and generates an implantation potential score (AI score). The AI-model of analysis are intended for Day 5 blastocysts.
- Not invasive nor harmful.
- Reduces the number of embryo transfers needed which shortens the time to pregnancy.
Vitrification
- An ultra rapid freezing process that replaces water in the cells with cryoprotectant agents and freeze instantaneously without the formation of harmful ice crystals.
- Applicable to oocytes (eggs), embryos and blastocysts.
