02 – Embryo biopsy: How to implement a successful PGT program
2.750,00 €
Three days group course for those embryologists who need to implement the trophectoderm biopsy (or the cleavage stage biopsy if needed) in their routine, but have not much time to spent out their lab. We recommend to count with extra time in their lab to practice the techniques.
Also interesting for those embryologists who are already performing biopsies but would like to have an upgrade to learn new tips and tricks on all the aspects related with the blastocyst biospy.
This course with a maximum of six people guarantees a unique environment and highly technological laboratory with the most modern and exclusive equipment in the market available for training.
“The Embryo biopsy: How to implement a successful PGT program, Barcelona, Spain, 02/11/2020-04/11/2020 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 18 European CME credits (ECMEC®s).”
Embryo biopsy: How to implement a successful PGT program
Blastocyst culture, biopsy and cryopreservation
Aims and Goals of the Course:
To understand fundamental principles of blastocyst culture, biopsy, genetic diagnosis, and cryopreservation techniques. To have an overview of current experiences and outcomes and acquire experience on how to setup and manage a successful Day-5 culture program. To have intensive hands-on in blastocysts biopsy (and cleavage stage if needed) applying the “pulling” and the “flicking” method on an unlimited number of blastocyst at different expansion stages. Hands-on training includes vitrification and warming of biopsied embryos and tubing of the cells for genetic analysis. We will discuss and experiment on how to manage warmed biopsied blastocysts before transfer.
Scientific Program:
Theoretical Sessions (30-45 min duration):
“Using Laser Technology in IVF procedures” by Klaus Rink, PhD
Hands-On Sessions:
Preparation of biopsy and embryo culture dishes
Setting up of the microscope and the laser
Biopsy of early, expanded and fully hatched blastocysts using the “pulling” and the “flicking” techniques with unlimited samples and live demonstration for each case
Preparation of material for the tubing of the biopsied cells genetic analysis
Cryopreservation, thawing and culture of blastocysts after biopsy
Laser AH in thawed blastocysts
Validation of the number of cells biopsied under an epifluorescence microscope
Video recording and photos of the procedures performed
