Preimplantation Genetic Testing Center in Noida

We take one or more cells from an embryo and start testing while the embryo grows in the IFV laboratory. The testing can be done at different stages using different techniques. Techniques include fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), microarray, and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).

All three types of PGT are performed similarly. The patient goes through their IVF cycle and egg retrieval as recommended by their physician. Their embryo(s) are monitored in our laboratory until day 5 or 6. They are referred to as blastocysts. At that time, a small number of cells are biopsied (removed) from each embryo and shipped to an outside laboratory for PGT. The cells are taken from a part of the blastocyst called the trophectoderm, which will eventually form the placenta. These cells are expected to represent the rest of the embryo; however, this may not always be the case due to circumstances such as mosaicism. The embryo must be frozen while PGT is performed. An embryo with average PGT results would be selected, thawed, and transferred to the uterus at a later date.
