Discarded Materials Study

June 1, 2026 updated by: Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey

Laboratory Evaluation of De-identified, Developmentally Arrested Embryos of Embryos Diagnosed as Having an Abnormal Number of Chromosomes for Optimization of Techniques for Assisted Reproduction

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

Study Overview

Status

Recruiting

Conditions

Detailed Description

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.
