Kosmogonia IVF

Embryo Biopsy

In short, the procedure is as follows::

	Day 3 post insemination embryo- At the 8 cell stage
	The embryo is held by suction to a micro-pipette, using micro-manipulators attached to the microscope.
	A pipette is introduced to dissect a hole in the protein coat surrounding the embryo.
	A cell is taken from the embryo using a biopsy pipette.
	The cell containing the nucleus is released.
	The cell is placed into a tube and treated for DNA analysis
