Technology of IVF Hospital

IVF hospitals are medical institutions that help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to reproductive health problems to achieve their reproductive aspirations through artificial ovulation induction, in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other technical means. The development of IVF technology has given more hope to infertile couples. The following will introduce the technology of IVF hospital from four aspects: ultra long term cryopreservation technology, embryo chromosome abnormality screening, PGS technology and gene editing technology.

Ultra long range cryopreservation technology

Ultra long range cryopreservation technology is an important technology of IVF hospital. It can freeze eggs and sperm taken from couples and unfreeze them when necessary. The emergence of this technology has greatly improved the success rate and fertility opportunities of IVF. Traditional cryopreservation technology can only preserve eggs and sperm for several years, while ultra long range cryopreservation technology can preserve eggs and sperm for decades, or even longer. This is a very favorable choice for some couples who cannot have IVF for a short time due to special reasons. The ultra long range cryopreservation technology mainly involves the control of the freezing and thawing process of eggs and sperm. During the freezing process, the hospital will use a special freezing medium to freeze eggs and sperm, and store them in liquid nitrogen. When thawing, it is necessary to gradually warm up to avoid damage to eggs and sperm. The appearance of ultra long range cryopreservation technology has greatly increased the number of spare tires, making the success rate of IVF higher.

Embryo Chromosome Abnormality Screening

Embryo chromosomal abnormality screening is a common technology in IVF hospitals, which can help doctors screen out chromosomal abnormalities in embryos and select healthier embryos for transplantation. In the process of IVF, embryo chromosome abnormality is one of the main reasons for failure, so the application of embryo chromosome abnormality screening technology is very important. Chromosome abnormality screening is mainly conducted by taking out a small number of nutrient cells or living cells from the embryo. The common methods are PGD (screening of chromosome abnormalities), PGS (screening of chromosome carriers), etc. These screening technologies can help doctors find chromosome abnormalities in embryos in time, select healthy embryos for transplantation, and thus improve the success rate of IVF.

PGS technology

PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) is a pre implantation genetic screening technology. It is a technology that extracts embryonic cells for genetic testing after in vitro fertilization, mainly used to screen chromosome abnormalities and gene mutations of embryos. PGS technology has important application value in IVF hospitals. The core of PGS technology is to screen whether there are chromosomal abnormalities in embryos in advance by analyzing the genome of a single embryo cell, such as the common trisomy 21 syndrome. The application of PGS technology can help doctors select healthy embryos for transplantation, reduce the failure rate of embryo implantation, and improve the success rate of IVF.

Gene editing technology

Gene editing is a technology to change genetic traits by modifying cell or individual genome. At present, CRISPR-Cas9 is a widely used gene editing technology. In IVF hospitals, gene editing technology can be used to prevent and treat genetic diseases. Through gene editing technology, doctors can modify specific genes in the embryonic stage of IVF to reduce the risk of genetic diseases. For example, for couples with single gene genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, normal genes can be introduced into embryonic cells through gene editing technology, so that newborns are no longer affected by genetic diseases.

Summary

The IVF hospital helps infertile couples achieve their fertility aspirations by means of advanced technologies such as ultra long term cryopreservation technology, embryo chromosome abnormality screening, PGS technology and gene editing technology. Ultra long range cryopreservation technology can increase the number of spare tires for IVF; Embryo chromosome abnormality screening and PGS technology can reduce the failure rate of embryo implantation; Gene editing technology can prevent the occurrence of genetic diseases. The application of these technologies has made IVF hospitals an important part of the development of modern medicine, bringing good news to those couples who cannot conceive naturally due to reproductive health problems.
