Official title
Laboratory Evaluation of De-identified, Developmentally Arrested Embryos of Embryos Diagnosed as Having an Abnormal Number of Chromosomes for Optimization of Techniques for Assisted Reproduction
Overview
Use of discarded embryos to advance laboratory expertise and technology in the area of human embryo development and assisted reproductive technologies
Detailed description
1- Testing methods or freezing before implementing techniques. 2- Develop cell surgery and micromanipulation techniques. 3- Develop methods to optimize the determinations of genes and chromosomes 4- Quality-assess laboratory equipment. 5- Test proficiency of laboratory staff. 6- Analyze what effects the early development of embryos. 7- Develop new methods and media to allow for higher survival rates of embryos. 8- Develop non-invasive tests for predicting embryo quality to predict IVF success.
Primary outcome measures
- Methods for freezing -embryos [Time frame: duration of the study]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Development non-invasive tests [Time frame: duration of the study]
- Factors that control embryo development [Time frame: duration of the study]
