The team.
The tech.

Steps from every procedure room. Your eggs are handed across the window, never couriered to a third-party facility. The lab is staffed by our exceptional embryologists during every cycle.

Our Chief Scientific Officer, Andrew Thomson, leads scientific strategy and laboratory standards across the organization. He was the third reproductive scientist in the UK to be awarded Fellowships from both the Royal College of Pathologists and the Academy for Healthcare Science, and has designed IVF labs across four continents. The day-to-day work in each clinic is run by our certified embryology team.

CHLOE™ is an AI-powered embryo assessment tool developed by Fairtility. It analyzes timelapse footage of your embryos and generates objective quality scores, which our embryologists use alongside their clinical training to inform transfer decisions. You can also watch your own embryos develop and see their scores through the CHLOE™ Embryo Viewer. CHLOE is included on every self-pay IVF cycle and every egg freezing cycle; on funded IVF cycles, it’s available as an add-on.

Lifeaire is a hospital-grade air filtration system used by the world’s most advanced fertility clinics. It removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, and particulates that can compromise embryo development. Air quality is one of the most overlooked variables in IVF outcomes, and Lifeaire represents the gold standard.

RI Witness is an electronic sample-tracking system. Every dish, every embryo, every patient sample is tagged with an RFID chip. The system verifies a match every time a sample is moved, biopsied, or transferred. It eliminates the possibility of human-error mix-ups that paper-label systems can’t prevent.

Yes. Through the CHLOE™ Embryo Viewer, you receive minute-by-minute timelapse footage of your embryos as they develop in our incubator, along with their quality scores. It’s a level of transparency most fertility clinics don’t offer, and patients tell us it’s one of the most meaningful parts of their cycle.

Yes. Both Twig labs follow the same protocols, run the same CHLOE-equipped timelapse incubators, are equipped with Lifeaire air filtration and RI Witness electronic tracking, and are staffed by certified embryologists. Standards are set at the organizational level by our Chief Scientific Officer and enforced consistently across both cities.

Yes. Twig Fertility BC’s diagnostic laboratory is accredited by the Diagnostic Accreditation Program (DAP). Our quality improvement plan and performance results are available upon request. Please contact hello.bc@twigfertility.com.

Twig’s laboratory processes samples only for Twig patients. Test costs are published on our pricing page, and are available on request from your care team. Test instructions and expected turnaround times are also available to Twig patients from their care team.
