Overview

Laboratory quality is considered to be one of the most crucial factors to ensure high IVF/ICSI success rates. During the last few years it becomes clearer the elements that are considered to be important, as human embryos are sensitive to contaminants at the molecular level. Appropriate screening and quality control of air, media and any equipment that comes in contact with the embryos need to be constantly undertaken.

The laboratory is equipped with the most-up-to-date microscopes and micromanipulators to aid in the processing of patients gametes and embryos. Each workstation is equipped with a bench-top incubation system to maintain temperature, humidity and gas atmosphere of eggs and embryos during handling. Due to its own heating, ventilation and cooling system, room conditions are precisely regulated to help avoid day-to-day variation and contamination. Particle contaminants are kept from entering the laboratory through airways and doors by positive pressure air, which has 15 complete air exchanges per minute. The Lab is controlled by a sophisticated filtering system called Hepa Filtration (high efficiency particulate air). The laboratory is also equipped with a volatile organic compound filtration units, which removes harmful solvents, potentially toxic substances such as bacteria and fungi and chemicals from the air, preventing them from going into the embryo culture system. The outcome of all these features in conjunction with good culture media ensures an optimal environment for the developing embryos.

All these factors has given Ganin IVF laboratory the chance to keep the embryos successfully till day 5/6 after retrieval, that is the natural day that the embryo naturally reach the uterine cavity. This is called Blastocyst transfer and has many advantages specially in improving pregnancy rates. Our laboratory integrates experienced embryologists. Our embryologists are hands on experts rather than supervisors of technicians.
