Advanced genetic testing for healthier pregnancies.

Preimplantation genetic testing screens embryos before transfer — helping select the healthiest embryo and supporting a strong, healthy pregnancy.

What it is

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) analyzes embryos created through IVF for chromosomal or specific genetic conditions before transfer. It can improve the odds of a healthy pregnancy and reduce the risk of certain inherited disorders.

Who it's for

  • Couples with a history of recurrent miscarriage
  • Prior chromosomal conditions
  • Known inherited disease
  • Advanced maternal age
  • Anyone wanting added information before transfer
