  • Recovery and processing of human embryos formed in vivo
    Patent number: 10945762
    Abstract: A process for recovering one or more blastocysts from a uterus of a human includes a step of placing a device transvaginally into a cervical canal of the patient; a step of delivering fluid through the device to the uterus and applying a vacuum to a uterus of the patient to aspirate fluid and entrained one or more blastocysts from the uterus; and a step of performing a biopsy procedure on the one or more recovered blastocysts to remove one or more of trophectoderm cells or inner cell mass from the recovered blastocysts. The process may further include a step of storing one or more of the biopsied trophectoderm cells or inner cell mass following the biopsy procedure and a step of performing at least one molecular diagnostic assay test on the one or more of the biopsied trophectoderm cells or inner cell mass.
