About Our Lab

Innovative Practices That Support Your Fertility Goals

Our lab is at the forefront of innovation in reproductive medicine. Our physicians and embryologists use advanced techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. From microsurgical tools like intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and assisted hatching to specialized incubators designed for optimal embryo growth, every aspect of your fertility journey is carefully crafted for success.

Advanced Lab Features at Fertility Specialists of Texas:

• High-performance air filtration: Our HVAC system uses HEPA filters along with chemical filtration (activated carbon and potassium permanganate) to remove 99.9% of particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including those known to negatively impact embryo development.
• Clean room isolation: Sealed ceilings, walls, and doors prevent contaminants and toxins from entering the lab.
• Pressurized environment: The lab is pressurized to ensure air flows out, preventing contaminants from entering.
• “Submarine mode” air recirculation: In case of external pollution, the lab can recirculate air to maintain a safe environment.
• Specialized incubators: Reduced oxygen incubators support embryo development to the blastocyst stage.
• Advanced microsurgical tools: The latest in reproductive technology supports precision procedures such as ICSI, assisted hatching, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).
• Time-lapse embryo monitoring: Our incubators are equipped with time-lapse imaging technology, allowing continuous, non-invasive observation of embryo development without disruption.

Behind Every Embryo: FST Laboratory Team

Expertise in Embryo Development

Our IVF lab is equipped to handle every step of embryo development with precision and care. From the moment your eggs and sperm are in our care, we focus on providing the highest level of expertise and attention to detail.

Once mature eggs are fertilized with sperm, our expert embryologists monitor embryo development over five days, creating the perfect environment for growth. With advanced monitoring systems and a personalized approach, we're here to give your embryos the best possible start.

Comprehensive Male Fertility Services

Our on-site andrology lab provides a full range of male fertility services performed under sterile, controlled conditions to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and care. We offer:

• Diagnostic semen analysis for evaluating sperm count, motility, and morphology.
• Sperm preparation for IUI and IVF, tailored to each treatment plan.
• Semen cryopreservation, allowing patients to freeze sperm for future use—whether for medical, lifestyle, or fertility treatment reasons.

While we do not provide direct treatment for male infertility, our services offer essential insights and support that can guide the next steps in your fertility care.
