Embryologist

Embryologists perform fertilisation checks, ICSI, embryo culture and grading, biopsy for genetic testing, freezing and warming. Canadian fertility laboratories work to national professional standards and are accredited provincially. Most clinics offer an embryology update call — it is reasonable to ask to speak to the laboratory about your own results.
