## Thought Leadership
  • Leaders in fertility: Genea is Australia’s leading IVF clinic and we’re proud to be leading the way, creating and using cutting edge fertility technology. We’ve pioneered a range of methods and technologies that are developed inhouse by our sister company, Genea Biomedx. Being connected in this way means our team truly understands and responds to the needs of our patients, and continuously works to improve success rates. Some of our biggest contributions to fertility process and technology include:
  • Day Five embryo transfers: Genea was the first clinic in Australia to introduce the gold standard of routine Day 5 (blastocyst) embryo transfers. We’ve been doing it this way for years and it’s one of the key reasons behind our world leading success rates.
  • Single embryo transfer: We were the first clinic in Australia to introduce routine single embryo transfer. Our technology allows us to achieve high success rates while transferring a single, carefully selected embryo. Single embryo transfer also means a safer pregnancy for both mother and child.
  • Culture medium: Genea has been developing and using our own culture medium (the vital solution that nurtures and support eggs, sperm and embryos outside the body) for more than two decades.
  • Incubators: Genea’s embryologists have led the way with various innovations in this area, culminating in the creation of Geri®, our latest time-lapse incubator.
  • PGT-M / PGT-A: Preimplantation genetic testing: Genea pioneered PGT-M, PGT-A and PGT-SR: Pre-implantation genetic testing, and our expertise and techniques are among the best in the world. Many clinics have followed our lead and modelled their approach to embryo biopsy on ours.
