Embryologists

Inside Our IVF Laboratory

Welcome to the heart of your fertility journey: our IVF laboratory. While much of your care happens in consultation rooms and clinics, many of the critical and delicate steps of the IVF process occur in the laboratory.

Our embryologists work as a team, combining their individual experiences and talents to establish the finest IVF practices in all areas, including oocyte insemination, embryo culture, transfer, vitrification and thawing, as well as micromanipulation techniques such as ICSI and blastocyst biopsy.

Our state-of-the-art technology and dedicated embryology staff contribute to one of South Africa’s best IVF laboratories. The laboratory is a highly specialized environment designed to maintain the strictest air quality, temperature, and equipment standards, to protect the integrity of gametes and embryos. It is here that cutting-edge technology meets human expertise to handle human eggs, sperm, and embryos with the utmost precision and care, to give each embryo the best possible start.

Our mission is to provide exceptional embryology and andrology services in a safe, supportive, and meticulously controlled environment, combing leading science with personal care.

What Happens in the IVF Lab?

Once eggs and sperm are collected, they are brought into the lab for fertilization, embryo culture, and when appropriate, freezing. Every step is carried out in a sterile, temperature- and air-controlled environment.
