Our recently installed LYKOS laser system helps our embryologist create a small opening in the shell of the embryo to help it implant after it is transferred into the uterus. This process is called Laser Assisted Hatching or LAH . The laser is also  utilized to perform biopsy of the embryo to identify genetic defects before it is transferred into the uterus (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis or PGD).
