1. Technical requirements for artificial insemination
Artificial insemination is the first step of the third generation IVF technology, which requires the following technical requirements.
First, a high-quality semen sample is required. The hospital needs to provide first-class semen storage and processing equipment to ensure the survival rate and mobility of sperm. In addition, professionals should conduct a comprehensive examination to ensure that semen samples are free of any potential health problems.
Secondly, accurate ovulation monitoring is the key. The hospital needs to use advanced technology and equipment, such as ultrasonic monitoring, hormone level testing, etc., to determine the accurate ovulation time of female patients. This is very important for successful artificial insemination.
Finally, professional skills are required for artificial insemination. The hospital should be equipped with experienced doctors and assistants who can correctly guide and inject sperm to ensure that sperm can successfully enter the uterus of women and increase the probability of successful pregnancy.
2. Technical requirements for embryo culture
Embryo culture is the core link of the third generation IVF technology. Technicians are required to meet the following technical requirements.
First, a sterile, thermostatic and humidity controlled incubator is needed. Such an environment can simulate the internal environment of human uterus to the maximum extent, and provide the conditions required for the normal growth of embryos.
Secondly, hospitals should be equipped with high-quality culture media and media to provide the nutrition and growth factors needed by embryos. The hospital should regularly test the quality and validity of the culture medium.
Finally, the hospital needs to be equipped with embryologists with professional knowledge and rich experience, who can accurately assess the development of embryos and make necessary treatment and selection to maximize the quality and survival rate of embryos.
3. Technical requirements for chromosome screening
Chromosome screening is an important part of the third-generation IVF technology, which requires the following technical requirements.
First, hospitals need to equip high-quality chromosome analysis equipment, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH), to obtain accurate chromosome information.
Secondly, the hospital should have experienced geneticists who can correctly interpret and analyze chromosome information, detect and screen out chromosome abnormalities.
Finally, a complete chromosome database is needed for reference and comparative analysis by geneticists. This can improve the accuracy and reliability of screening to help patients choose healthy embryos for transplantation.
4. Technical requirements for transplantation
Embryo transfer is the last step of the third generation IVF technology, which requires the following technical requirements.
First of all, hospitals need to have accurate embryo transfer positioning technology. This requires the use of ultrasound technology to accurately measure the position and shape of the inside of the uterus to ensure that the embryo can be accurately placed in the best position.
Secondly, the hospital should have experienced doctors and assistants who can skillfully operate embryo transfer instruments to ensure the safety and success of embryo transfer.
Finally, the hospital needs to have perfect nursing measures before and after transplantation, including regulating the patient's physical condition, controlling immune response, etc. This can improve the success rate of embryo transfer and pregnancy rate.
Summary
The requirements of the third generation IVF technology are very strict, involving artificial insemination, embryo culture, chromosome screening and transplantation. Hospitals need to be equipped with high-quality equipment and professional personnel to ensure the success and safety of technology. Only with high-level technical requirements can we successfully carry out three generations of IVF.
