Learn about our laboratory and the cutting-edge technology

In-house laboratory and advanced technology

At Barcelona IVF, we have our own assisted reproduction laboratory, integrated within the clinic. This allows us to directly supervise each stage of the process and apply rigorous control and follow-up protocols.

In-house laboratory and advanced technology

ICSI and IMSI for fertilisation

ICSI is the most common In Vitro fertilisation technique of choice for the majority of cases. IMSI differs from ICSI in that sperm selection is performed under 8000x, which allows the best sperm to be chosen.

Blastocyst culture

The transfer of blastocyst stage embryos has proven to significantly increase pregnancy rates. This is due to a better selection of the embryos to be transferred.

Embryoscope

Embryos with higher chances of implantation can be selected through this technique, therefore achieving better pregnancy rates.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis

This is a diagnostic technique that allows us to detect genetic abnormalities in the embryo before its transfer to the mother’s uterus.

Sperm donor

This resource consists of using donor sperm in any of the assisted reproduction treatments: artificial insemination, In Vitro fertilisation with their own eggs or with donor eggs.

iDAScore: Embryo Selection with AI

iDAScore uses artificial intelligence to analyze images from EmbryoScope Time-Lapse and detect those embryos with a higher likelihood of implantation.

Zymot (FertileChip)

Zymot, previously known as FertileChip, is a technique that allows sperm with lower DNA fragmentation to be selected using a device that simulates the natural conditions of the female reproductive tract. This results in sperm with better genetic quality for use in assisted reproduction techniques such as ICSI.
