The Israeli Medical Center of Reproductive Medicine and Family Health in Tashkent offers a full range of laboratory tests aimed at the accurate diagnosis and monitoring of patients’ health status. Our laboratory is equipped with advanced equipment and managed by highly qualified specialists, ensuring high accuracy and reliability of results.
What is laboratory diagnostics?
Laboratory diagnostics is a field of medicine that deals with the study of biological materials (blood, urine, tissues, and other body fluids) to identify various diseases and assess health status. These tests help doctors make an accurate diagnosis, prescribe effective treatment, and monitor the recovery process.
Laboratory and embryological laboratory at IMC
The Israeli Medical Center has its own laboratory and an embryological laboratory, allowing a wide range of tests to be performed on-site. This significantly reduces the time to obtain results and increases their accuracy.
The laboratory is equipped with advanced equipment for performing all types of tests, from general blood tests to complex genetic tests. Our specialists have a high level of qualification and constantly improve their knowledge to meet international standards.
The embryological laboratory plays a key role in in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART). All necessary manipulations with eggs and embryos are performed here, including incubation, cryopreservation, and genetic testing.
Our embryological laboratory is equipped with “smart” Timelapse incubators, which allow monitoring embryo development 24/7 in an environment close to natural. These incubators take pictures of the embryos every 10 minutes, allowing for time-lapse videos of their development. This helps embryologists timely identify deviations in embryo division and select the best ones for transfer and genetic analysis.
The use of such incubators minimizes stress on the embryos, as there is no longer a need to take them out of the incubator for daily microscopic evaluation. This significantly increases the chances of successful implantation and further development.
IMC embryologists are the only ones in Uzbekistan certified by the American Association of Embryologists (ASRM). This confirms their high level of qualification and knowledge, corresponding to international standards. All specialists regularly undergo training and professional development to stay updated on the latest achievements in reproductive medicine.

Embryological research and services
The following studies and procedures are performed in our embryological laboratory:
- In vitro fertilization (IVF). A procedure where a woman’s eggs are fertilized with sperm outside the body in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryos are cultured and then transferred into the uterus.
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). A method where a sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of an egg. This method is used for male infertility.
- Embryo cryopreservation. The procedure of freezing and storing embryos for future use. This allows embryos to be preserved for future IVF cycles.
- Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Genetic analysis of embryos before transfer into the uterus to identify genetic abnormalities. This helps select the healthiest embryos for transfer.
- Semen analysis. Accurate analysis of sperm parameters using an automated SCA CASA analyzer. This analysis includes assessment of motility, concentration, morphology, DNA fragmentation, and sperm viability.
