The assisted reproduction unit has a laboratory with extensive equipment with which to carry out the basic assisted reproduction techniques, among which are extraction of gametes (ovum and sperm), extraction of embryos, sperm analysis, vitrification and devitrification of gametes and embryos, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and ICSI. It also has a small animal surgery to perform surgery on small animals, mainly mice, which is the animal species with which we preferably work. To carry out these techniques, the Assisted Reproduction Unit is equipped with two intracytoplasmic micromanipulation equipment with IMSI, Laser and Oosight systems, embryo biopsy systems, and mitotic spindle vision systems. We also have a piezoelectric device to carry out ICSI with oocytes from different animal species. We have recently incorporated a Time Lapse incubator to evaluate embryonic development; we also have flow cabinets with stereomicroscopes and heaters, plates, incubators with different gas systems, freezing and cryopreservation equipment for gametes and embryos, among others.
Customer benefits
Because our laboratory is one of the few that does research in assisted reproduction with animal models and has all this equipment, in addition to a bank of gametes and cryopreserved embryos, human reproduction clinics that wish to carry out tests with culture methods for oocytes or embryos, they can only be done with animal species, so our laboratory is suitable for this. In addition, the studies can also be carried out under regulatory requirements, since the institution that carries them out is certified in Good Laboratory Practices.
In this way, preclinical studies can be carried out in animal models in compliance with the strict guidelines of the regulatory agencies, ensuring the reliability and traceability of all the results and tests carried out in its different services.
Target customer
This unit can provide services to all those companies that want to carry out quality control for Human Reproduction clinics, studies of in vitro fertilization and viability of embryo culture media, Micromanipulation and microinjection techniques of mouse embryos or other animal species, whether that we have piezo electric. Furthermore, as we have a bank of cryopreserved mouse oocytes and embryos, any company that needs to have a large number of these gametes and embryos can benefit from this service.
Additional information
In addition to having micromanipulation and microinjection equipment that allows us to inject sperm into the cytoplasmic cavity of the oocyte (ICSI). One of these microinjectors has a built-in laser system, which allows, by means of small shots, to make a small hole in the membrane of the embryo and, after absorption with specific needles for this process, obtain two or three cells of the trophectoderm and subsequently send these cells to specialized laboratories that perform preimplantation genetic diagnosis studies, to analyze possible abnormalities of the embryo before its transfer and implantation.
Customer benefits
Having these micromanipulation and microinjection equipment that incorporates a laser system to perform trophectoderm biopsy allows us to offer this service to embryologists who wish to train in this technique and acquire the necessary skills to be able to carry out this technique in the human clinic. Furthermore, the implementation of this ICSI technique and blastomere biopsy, and the handling and use of micromanipulators and microinjectors allows the practical training of master’s students and specialization courses in human or animal assisted reproduction.

Target customer
This service can provide assistance to all those Human Reproduction companies and clinics that want to carry out in vitro fertilization studies using Micromanipulation and microinjection techniques of mouse embryos or other animal species, since we have a piezoelectric system that facilitates this process without damaging the oocyte In addition, they can perform a biopsy of the embryo’s blastomeres in order to later perform genetic studies on it.
Additional information
Within the Assisted Reproduction Unit we have a laboratory equipped with two micromanipulation and microinjection equipment that allows us to inject the sperm into the cytoplasmic cavity of the oocyte (ICSI), in order to carry out fertilization. The advantage that this equipment offers is that it allows us to perform in vitro fertilization without having to have a large number of sperm and oocytes. Furthermore, to be able to perform this technique with oocytes from different animal species, we have a piezoelectric device to perform this intracytoplasmic injection without damaging the oocyte of the specific animal species. Another possibility offered by this service is that in one of these microscopes we have a 6000x objective, which allows us to see the sperm in large sizes. In this way we can select the sperm that are morphologically of the best quality for intracytoplasmic injection (IMSI), which will subsequently allow us to obtain better quality embryos.
