Current standard witness systems only provide traceability between the patient and the petri dishes, but they do not track what happens inside the dish.
BlackBox is a unique system that ensures full identification and traceability of potential gametes, embryos, or biopsy samples inside the dish.
It securely and efficiently tracks every step of transfers between droplets and PCR tubes and all other procedures performed under the stereomicroscope.
BlackBox provides a unique and highly reliable system designed to prevent mismatches between embryos and biopsy samples: BiopSafe
By automatically capturing image records of each step and securely documenting all procedures, it prevents mismatches and errors: MultiPurpose
BiopSafe: Innovative System for Safe Embryo Biopsy During Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Embryo biopsies conducted under preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) are laboratory processes that require high precision and security. BiopSafe is an innovative system designed to eliminate the risk of human error and sample mix-up during the biopsy process, ensuring the safest performance of embryo biopsies. Additionally, it enables the secure, contamination-free storage and tracking of biopsy samples. This system increases accuracy during the biopsy process, contributing to diagnostic reliability.
MultiPurpose: It securely and efficiently tracks each step of gamete and embryo transfers between droplets, as well as all procedures performed under the stereomicroscope.
Technological and Functional Advantages:
Elimination of Error Risk: BiopSafe features an advanced security mechanism that prevents mislabeling, mix-ups, or any human errors during the biopsy process.
Maximum Security for Biopsy Samples: The closed-system design minimizes the contamination risk, maintaining the integrity of the sample.
Enhanced Traceability and Identification: Each sample is equipped with a unique identification system (e.g., barcode/RFID integration), increasing the traceability of biopsy samples.
Difference from Current IVF Identification Systems: Existing IVF identification (witness) technologies do not provide specific solutions for error prevention and traceability during the biopsy process. BioPSafe is the world’s first and only specialized system that ensures the safe performance of embryo biopsies.
Integration into Laboratory Workflow: Compatible with standard embryo biopsy and genetic test protocols, BioPSafe can easily adapt to current IVF laboratory processes.
Scientific Basis and Clinical Significance:
One of the critical factors in embryo biopsy is the accurate verification that the cells taken belong to the correct embryo and that the analysis process is error-free. Research has shown that mix-ups or human errors during biopsy can affect the accuracy of genetic tests (Fragouli & Wells, 2018). The secure biopsy method offered by BioPSafe ensures that embryo biopsies are performed with the utmost accuracy and reliability, increasing diagnostic precision (Munne et al., 2020).
Moreover, increased traceability eliminates the risk of mislabeling or mix-ups, preventing laboratory errors (Capalbo et al., 2019). BiopSafe, as the first and only specialized system ensuring flawless embryo biopsy performance, maximizes the safety of biopsy processes in IVF laboratories.
