microBiopsy
Reimagining blastocyst biopsy
First-in-Human Studies
microBiopsy is a purpose-designed approach to blastocyst biopsy designed to improve procedural consistency while reducing technical burden across operators.
The design goals for microBiopsy are listed below.
Gentler on embryos:
- Microwells position and support without suction
- Purpose-built for blastocyst biopsy
- Laser-free cell removal
Supporting embryologists:
- One micromanipulator to manage
- Fewer hand movements and adjustments
- Reduces technique-dependent variability
- Shorter learning curve for new embryologists
- Compatible with standard lab equipment

Availability is subject to the necessary regulatory approvals. During the initial launch phase, these devices may only be available at certain clinic sites and for specific patient populations.

Redesigning IVF to meet the needs of the embryo and embryologist
Speaker: Prof. David K. Gardner (Fertilis)
We create tools to serve both embryo and embryologist
Embryologists already know what excellence looks like. Fertilis exists to develop a suite of precision devices to assist them deliver it at scale.
We are creating a form of automation that amplifies the embryologist, delivering more cycles per expert while maximising the potential for the best outcomes.
Our devices aim to:
Integrate naturally into existing lab practice.
Preserve, rather than replace, embryologist judgement.
Scale capacity with your current team and infrastructure.
Build a foundation for better IVF outcomes.
microICSI is designed to make intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) suction-free, simpler and more controlled, with fewer manipulations and less time under the microscope.
