Use of discarded embryos to advance laboratory expertise and technology in the area of human embryo development and assisted reproductive technologies
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.
