We provide patients the option of culturing their embryos in a time lapse incubator such as the Embryoscope or Geri system, which have been scientifically shown to improve clinical outcomes.

These incubators allow uninterrupted culture of embryos, ensure the most stable of environments whilst producing an image of embryos at defined intervals. These systems enable embryologists to observe embryo development in greater detail and thus observe possible aberrations in their development that may have been missed using conventional incubation techniques.

The additional information provided, allows improved embryo selection for transfer or cryopreservation, thereby improving clinical outcomes.

All patients undergoing IVF/ICSI
