Laboratory methods

The laboratory is a key place for assisted reproduction. The doctors at Prague Fertility Centre can count on some of the most experienced embryologists in the Czech Republic. Our specialists work in laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment. They are a well-coordinated team with the necessary empathy, sensitivity and drive to obtain quality embryos.

Egg fertilisation: ICSI

Intracytoplasmic injection of sperm directly into the egg in order to overcome barriers and increase chances of fertilisation.

Extended embryo culturing

Monitored embryo development over 48 hours to select the embryo with the highest potential for implantation.

PGT‑M, PGT-SR & PGT‑A

Preimplantation genetic screening and diagnosis — prevention of nesting failure and transmission of genetic defects.

Time-lapse embryo monitoring

A real-time embryo development tracking system to select the embryos with the highest potential for nesting.

Sperm selection: MICHSS

Selection of the best quality sperm based on concentration and motility using a microfluidic chip.

Sperm selection: LAISS

Detection of viable sperm in a non-motile sample using a non-invasive laser.

Sperm retrieval: MESA/TESE

Modern microsurgical sperm collection methods from the testicles and epididymis in the case of low / zero sperm concentration.

Egg fertilisation: OptimFert

An innovative polarising microscopy method for monitoring egg maturity to determine the correct timing for fertilisation.

Embryo nesting support: LAZT

Laser-assisted hatching is a non-invasive method for facilitating an embryo to leave the protective shell and promote nesting.

Embryo nesting support: EmbryoGlue

A special solution for protecting the embryo and facilitating its connection with the uterine lining.

Preservation of cells: Vitrification

Preservation of eggs and embryos for potential future use by fast, gentle and efficient freezing.

Endometrium receptivity test

ERA test, beReady — advanced analytical methods of the genetic profile of the uterine lining to determine the timing of implantation.

ASET

Asynchronous embryo transfer is a method in which we transfer 2 embryos of different ages to increase chances of succesful implantation.

We’d like to inform you that our clinic will be closed from 20.12.2024 — 1.1.2025. Also, from 20.12. to 23.12., maintenance of the patient portal will be carried out and it wont be possible to log in.
