Introducing the Multi-Pulse Feature for the LYKOS Laser System
The Multi-Pulse software gives our lasers an automated, precise tool that enables rapid trophectoderm biopsy.
The Multi-Pulse feature provides rapid, repeated firing of the laser to facilitate removal of cells from an embryo during the trophectoderm biopsy process. Trophectoderm biopsy is considered one of the best methods used to remove cells from the embryos of patients undergoing pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to screen for genetic disease or aneuploidy.
