Embryology is the study of the formation, growth, and development of an embryo This branch of science deals with the primary prenatal stage, right from the formation of gametes (reproductive cells), fertilization, formation of the zygote (fertilized egg cell) to the development of embryo until blastocyst stage. Nova IVF Fertility is among the major service providers for fertility treatment. We cater to all your embryology-related queries and requirements.
Infrastructure at Nova IVF
The efficiency of the embryology laboratory is directly related to IVF success. It is the lab that mimics a woman’s womb in this artificial reproductive technology. Therefore, we safeguard the egg and sperm and fertilize them in the lab by creating the best artificial environment. Since embryos are around 200 to 300 microns in size and invisible to the naked eye, they need special care. If not handled with the utmost care, embryos will lose their viability and will not result in pregnancy. Keeping all of these factors in mind, we stringently monitor the conditions required for the growth of embryos, such as air quality, CO2 level in the incubator, temperature, humidity, liquid nitrogen levels, freezing and thawing conditions to ensure embryos are not damaged. Hence a well-equipped lab makes a lot of difference. Below are a few highlights of infrastructure available at Nova IVF:

A high concentration of cryoprotectants along with rapid cooling rates is vital to cryopreserve embryos. At NOVA IVF, the cryoprotecting media used for freezing are of high quality that ensures better cryopreservation. Any dip or a fall in temperature in cryo units (below 196 degrees) are alerted with warning systems placed in the lab, ensuring better quality control.
Nova IVF labs are equipped with innovative K-SYSTEMS IVF Incubators which have IR sensors. The incubators come with optional environmental conditions for the embryos and even measure the slightest changes in CO2 levels. With the unique space-saving and stacking system, our labs have incubators that feature 10 chambers. The embryos of couples are safely stored in different chambers to avoid any unnecessary exposure to air and any probable mixups.
As embryos are extremely sensitive, we maintain a careful eye while they are within our lab environment. We are wary of the fact that hazardous components can be airborne and can enter from many sources. Therefore, our lab is equipped with HEPA filters (which can trap 99.97 percent of particles with a diameter equal to 0.3 microns) and carbon filters to preserve high-quality air. Not only this, air-purifiers are extensively used to maintain the best air quality outside the lab.
Thanks to artificial intelligence, the software enables embryologists to analyze the right embryo with a better propensity to be implanted. This improves the success rate for couples as the most appropriate embryo is transferred into the uterus.
It is challenging to find a doctor who understands your needs. We at Nova IVF Fertility ensure that your doctor and staff members are dependable and a team with whom you should continue your treatment, regardless of any doubt.
Many of our senior embryologists are well-trained in the most complex of Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) cases.

Women are born with approximately 2 million eggs in their ovaries. Before a girl reaches puberty, about 11,000 eggs die every month. Thus, in her teenage years, a woman has only about 300,000 to 400,000 eggs available. From this point onwards, about 1000 eggs are utilised every month. This has nothing to do with any form of birth control, pregnancy, hormone production, health, lifestyle or nutritional supplements. Eventually, a woman reaches menopause when she has no viable eggs left.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) refers to a condition caused by hormonal imbalances. Women suffering from PCOS produce higher than normal amounts of male hormones. This affects ovulation and can result in irregular periods. In some cases, women suffering from PCOS may have irregular periods. This, in turn, can make it harder for these women to conceive.
