Embryology and Andrology Laboratories
Located on the top floors of modern medical buildings in Downtown Los Angeles and Fountain Valley, Orange County, our embryology and andrology laboratories are designed to optimize outcomes for patients undergoing fertility treatment. Our facilities feature positive air pressure systems with advanced air purification to remove airborne pathogens and chemicals, ensuring the cleanest possible environment. Backup power systems ensure that a continuous supply of power is provided in the event of a power failure.
We exclusively use modern benchtop incubators which are designed to mimic the environment of a woman's body during embryo culture. Independent incubator chambers for each patient prevent disturbance to the neighboring chambers even when the lids are opened. Digital recording of temperature and gas flow systems helps our embryologists achieve the best possible outcomes. Multiple quality assurance and security systems are used to maximize the safety of gametes and embryos in our labs.
Each member of our senior embryology team has extensive experience in the field of IVF including key procedures such as micromanipulation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, laser-assisted zona hatching, embryo biopsy, oocyte and embryo vitrification.
Our laboratories and tissue bank are licensed by the California Department of Public Health and accredited by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). West Coast Fertility Centers are also registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which regulates third-party reproductive services. We report annual anonymized IVF outcome data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as required by law.
