Usually PGT-A by NGS method is conducted in the Igenomix laboratory in Russia or Genetico lab also in Russia. We use these providers for a long period of time and are quite satisfied with the results. Blastocysts will be biopsied and frozen subsequently, the result we expect in 2 weeks. "Normal" PGT-A is the most reliable at the moment. Unfortunately Embrace results (testing of the spent culture media) are not so concordant with the real molecular karyotype of the embryo for now. We hope it will become more reliable in future but the current reality leaves us with only choice - if we need THE answer, trophectoderm biopsy + NGS is the best available approach. Our embryologists are very skilled in performing biopsy, we do it a lot, so you shouldn't worry about us harming the embryo in any way or diminishing its potential.
