Embryoscope time-lapse
Advanced embryo selection is included as standard in our new packages to help improve your pregnancy chances.
What is EmbryoScope?
EmbryoScope is a revolutionary type of incubator, which helps us choose the best embryo to transfer.
The EmbryoScope produces a time-lapse video of your embryos as they grow undisturbed, giving us highly detailed insight into their development which is not visible through traditional embryo culture methods.
We then use this video to identify which of your embryos have the greatest pregnancy potential.
Should I use Embryoscope in my IVF cycle?
EmbryoScope is a treatment option available to all Manchester Fertility patients, but it may be especially useful if you’ve had previous failed cycles of IVF/ICSI.
Embryos are placed in the EmbryoScope after we have confirmed fertilisation, the day after egg collection.
Once we have identified which of your embryos is most suitable for transfer, you will receive your own copy of the video, where we will explain to you the key stages.
