New and High Technology Laboratory

In the embryology laboratory all freezing and thawing procedures are equipped with high technology, providing the best possible cooperation. Also, all of our tools are approved.

Embryo freezing and thawing procedures.
Freezing and thawing provides many conveniences to the couples who applies for IVF treatmen.

The dreams of couples who wants to have babies come true with the developing technology.

Embryo freezing, which is an important method in IVF treatment achieves healthy pregnancies with the improvements in this process and high success rates are achieved.

What is Embryo Freezing?

Embryos and reproductive cells are stored in liquid nitrogen in -196 degrees after rapid cooling by special techniques. When rapid freezing method is used, the embryos and reproductive cells maintain nearly %100 viability after thawing.

Advantages of Embryo Freezing

The chance of obtaining pregnancy increases with embryo freezing method. The embryos which have a good quality can be used later after the embryos transferred to the uterus and it gives more economical treatment for couples. In the next IVF treatment, the cost of the procedure is reduced. I also avoids the cost of drugs which are used to develop ovums.

The embryo freezing process provides extensive genetic study in embryos.

After cell biopsy from embryos for genetic study a certain time is needed for test results. Therefore, embryos are frozen immediately after biopsy. Embryos with normal genetic structures can be transferred to the expectant mother in the following months. It provides possibilities to have children in the future who is single or has no marriage plan in a short term and who has low ovarian reserve. It also has possibilities to have children to the patient who will receive some treatment( chemotherapy or radiotherapy due to cancer).

Sperm freezing process in male patients; In male patients, ıf they also need to have a chance to have babies, freezing sperm is applied. If the sperm count is too low in the semen or sperm obtained by surgical methods or also who will take chemotherapy treatment in the future.

The transfer process of embryos stored for up to 5 years in accordance with the laws determined by the Ministry of Health is carried out during periods when the cervix is suitable for holding the embryo like fresh embryo transfer. Embryo freezing is done by “vitrification” method. Embryos can be frozen on 2^nd,3^rd,4^th,5^th and 6^th days of development. Frozen embryos ,with the consent of family are stored in a tank with liquid nitrogen within –196 degrees where no biological activity occur in normal IVF. In case of success after both applications medically health babies are born.
