Embryoscope Unit
Embryoscope Unit
Sunrise Fertility Center is the first certified centre in Egypt and North Africa to own and operate an Embryoscope unit, serving many patients from Egypt and the wider region. This cutting edge technology allows us to provide superior fertility services to our patients.
In normal IVF procedures (which use normal non-Embryoscope incubators), fertility specialists need to extract the embryo from its test tube every 18 hours, starting from the first day, in order to monitor progress. This extraction process is in itself a risky and delicate procedure.
“The process has helped tremendously in avoiding repeated miscarriages – a cause of great stress and disappointment to many couples in the past.”
However, with the Unisense Fertilitech time-lapse Embryoscope, it is possible to track the development of the embryo from the time of conception without extraction from the incubator. The unit has six chambers each holding twelve embryos. Each embryo has its own video camera to monitor and record the cell division over a five day period, meaning that there is no need to remove it from its stable environment.
This lack of extraction enhances the chances of success of the procedure. Furthermore, the time lapse videos, showing cell division over the course of the five days, allows us to choose the embryos with the best cell division.
In short, the process has helped tremendously in avoiding repeated miscarriages – a cause of great stress and disappointment to many couples in the past. Of course, it is also wonderful for parents to have a video recording of the commencement of their child’s life, from the first millisecond up to when the cell has multiplied into 100 cells.
