Is there a risk of mix-up with eggs, sperm, or embryos?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a reliable and effective method for families to have the baby they dream of. However, one of the most frequently asked questions about this process is whether there is any risk of mixing up the eggs, sperm, or embryos. At Kolan British IVF Center, we are proud to state that we take the highest level of safety precautions in this regard and that this risk is completely zero.

Security and Transparency in the Process

In IVF treatment, every stage is meticulously planned and implemented to ensure the use of the couples’ own genetic material. First, identification procedures are performed with the patients during egg and sperm retrieval. Using a unique barcode and labeling system for each individual, we ensure that all samples are correctly matched.
During the development of embryos in the laboratory, monitoring and recording systems conforming to international standards are used. These systems ensure that each embryo is correctly matched with the right couple, eliminating the margin of error.

The Power of Technology:

At Kolan British IVF Center, we utilize the latest technologies for the safety of couples. Thanks to electronic identification and tracking systems (RFID), eggs, sperm, and embryos are tracked every step of the way throughout the laboratory. This system guarantees transparency at every stage of the process, completely eliminating the possibility of any mix-ups.
