At Aleris Fertility, we use the new EmbryoScope+ technique for cultivation of fertilised eggs (embryos). EmbryoScope+ provides the most optimal cultivation environment for your fertilised eggs and helps increase your changes of becoming pregnant.

EmbryoScope+ also has a built-in camera, which takes a picture of your fertilised eggs every 10 minutes and makes a time-lapse film of the development, so that we can continuously assess the development and quality of the eggs on a computer without removing them from their safe environment in the heating cabinet (the incubator).

The EmbryoViewer software allows us to select the embryos that are best suited for transfer and freezing.

In connection with IVF and ICSI treatment, you may have excess fertilised eggs which are suitable for freezing (vitrification). The frozen fertilized eggs can subsequently be thawed and used for new treatments so that you avoid further hormone stimulation and egg retrieval.

To ensure optimal conditions for freezing and thawing of your embryos, we have chosen to use the latest freezing technique with vitrification, which, with rapid and efficient freezing, provides the best survival rates and development opportunities for your embryos.

In vitrification, the embryos are placed in a special environment which replaces the water in the cells with a cryoprotectant, which also protects the eggs while they are frozen. The eggs are frozen quickly and are stored securely in a tank with liquid nitrogen until you are ready to use them.

One of the most important steps in an IVF treatment is the transfer of the fertilised egg (the embryo) to the uterus. EmbryoGlue resembles the environment in the uterus at the time of the transfer. It consists of a high concentration of hyaluronan and recombinant human albumin, both of which promote implantation. By placing the embryo in EmbryoGlue before it is transferred to the uterus, you have an even better chance of the egg attaching to the uterus.

With the new ‘Log and Guard system’ installed in our modern laboratory, nothing is left to chance. We can monitor all the critical factors that are essential to optimal development of your embryos 24/7. At the slightest deviation, our specialists receive a warning that enables us to optimise the cultivation conditions continuously.
