EMBRYOSCOPE™ - A revolution in IVF Promises Healthy child
Mumbai,3rdSept.2012.(Sachin Murdeshwar):The EmbryoScope™ a pioneering technology in the field of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) has been recently launched in India. A new fertility technique that has increased success rates by 17% percent allows parents to watch their baby from the moment of conception. This latest technology promises to change the way embryos are grown and selected in a lab.This comes as a boon for childless couples who have been trying hard for a baby through IVF methods. The EmbryoScope™ is an advanced incubator which allows the embryo to be observed minute by minute from the point when in vitro fertilisation takes place to the moment when it is transferred into the uterus.This brand new technique, based on the conventional incubators used in clinical embryology laboratories, includes an image capture system which allows anenormous amount of specific and objective information to be obtained for every embryo, which until now could not be recorded.This allows the doctors to find out new information about the embryos in a non-invasive way, as it avoids the need for taking the embryo out of the incubator to assess its development,improving the selection criteria and, as a result, pregnancy rates. Dr. Neils Ramsing, CSO of M/s Unisense Fertilitech a/s, Denmark the company which produces EmbryoScope™ has co-developed this technology over aperiod of 7 years.
Dr. Ramsing along with a renowned scientist Dr. Marcos Meseguer (from IVI Clinic, Spain) who has published data for more than 12,000 IVF cycles using the EmbryoScope™, visited Chennai and Bangalore recently and elaborated on the benefits of using this technique. TheEmbryoScope™ is a hi-tech platform (equipment) in which total 72 embryos of six
patients are grown and monitored un-interrupted till, they are transferred back to mother's womb.The EmbryoScope™ overcomes the shortcomings of current IVF protocols and substantiates how improved embryo selection was possible based on a kinetic analysis of time lapse images of embryo development. This revolutionizing technology is a remarkable invention in the IVF space as it allows parents to deal with infertility problems and have a healthy child.
