Due to our long-standing relationships with ReproGenetics (www.Reprogenetics.com  ) and the Center for Preimplantation Genetics (www.PGDCenter.com ), and Gene Security Network (www.genesecurity.net) as well as our excellent day 5 blastocyst culture methods and embryo freezing (vitrification) techniques, FCI is one of only a handful of IVF programs world-wide able to offer this major breakthrough.
