The ZILOS-tk laser is used to ablate the zona next to the blastomere to be removed for biopsy. This allows for a blunt pipette to be used for the blastomere extraction. Hamilton Thorne, Inc.

Dr. Silber shows three examples of embryo biopsy, each time removing two cells from the embryo. In the first two examples, blastomeres are easily removed due to decreased compaction. In the third example, however, there are tighter connections between eight blastomeres, leading to a more difficult embryo biopsy. This is done to test the two extracted cells for abnormalities within the embryo.

This is an animated video that shows the steps involved in Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). When a fertilized egg has grown to between the 4-10 cells, 1-2 of these cells (known as blastomeres) are gently removed from the embryo using a microsurgery technique. The genetic material (DNA) from the removed cell is then analyzed for genetic abnormalities.

An 8-cell human embryo with average morphology, biopsied roughly 70 hours (Day 3) post-fertilization. When indicated, a single cell (blastomere) can be removed from a Day 3 embryo and subsequently tested for inheritable genetic diseases. The embryo is returned to culture and the biopsied cell is couriered to a genetic lab. Results from the biopsied cell are generally available inside of 48 hours. The embryo is in a solution of calcium and magnesium-free media that is necessary to loosen the cell-cell junctions and isolate a single nucleated cell (no nucleus, no DNA, no diagnosis). The first pipet applies an acidified solution to the protein coat (zona pellucida) that dissolves a hole approximately 2/3 the diameter of the blastomere. The embryo is then moved away from the locally acidified area. It is also possible to use a laser to 'hatch' a slit through the zp, but not every IVF lab has access to one. The second tool is pushing a minute amount of culture media through the space in the zp to create just enough positive pressure to extrude a single cell. Using a positive-pressure biopsy technique has the advantages of being potentially very quick, unintrusive and with less likelihood of shearing cells and subsequently carrying-over potential DNA contamination between successive embryos. It has also been especially helpful on microscope-rigs with less-than-perfect optics or with poor vibration isolation.
