The Mayo Scottsdale IVF and Andrology Laboratories are accredited by the College of American Pathologist Reproductive Biology Program. Currently, only one-third of the IVF laboratories in the United States have this accreditation. This accreditation ensures labs have the necessary experience, equipment and quality control to provide high quality care to infertile couples. The Mayo Scottsdale IVF and Andrology laboratory staff stress the importance of consistency and a quality control program in all aspects of laboratory operation.
Human embryos are extremely sensitive to poor culture conditions and toxins.
All aspects of the embryo culture environment including culture solutions, the vessels and the air the embryos are cultured in, and laboratory equipment, are subjected to rigorous quality control testing. This approach provides each patient with the very best laboratory care. Additionally, each patient receives a thorough record review and individualized laboratory treatment plan after consultation with the patient's physician. All members of the laboratory are committed to offering the newest innovations in lab techniques for treating infertile couples. Mayo's IVF lab is a leader in the nation and the world in freezing embryos.
