The Goal

Help patients escape chromosomal aneuploidies and monogenic disorders.

The Problem

  1. 1The ritual of preloading biopsy tubes.
  2. 2Shaky hands during tube loading.
  3. 3Obscured vision during tube loading.
  4. 4Ghosted piece lost during wash to media, oil or tube wall.
  5. 5Rebiopsy wait time and invasiveness.

Our Solution

  • Automated embryo-biopsy assembly with existing instrumentation.
  • Designed to optimize embryology workflows.
  • Removes the complexity from the most advanced competency requirement in embryology.
