The first spindle microscope in Scandinavia is in use now in Copenhagen Fertility Center
Af Mette Munk og Svend Lindenberg
The spindel microscope in the laboratorium.
Copenhagen Fertility Center has as the first in Denmark installed a Spindle Microscope in the laboratorium. We have done this because the spindel microscope can visualize the spindle apparatus in the eggs from the women. The spindle apparatus is the key to separate chromosomes in the developing eggs and embryos. If the spinclle apparatus is not in order, the pregnancy chance is decreased, it enables us therefore to select better eggs.
This microscope enables us to select normal eggs for fertilization and embryo transfer.
The spindle apparatus detoriate with age, and it is therefore a very important tool in the IVF/ICSI treatment of women over 37 years of age. In this age more and more women have eggs with malformations of the spindle.
It is therefore recommended to use this facility when a women has been through several IVF attempts without succes or just due to age over 40 years of age.
Using this new spindle microscope we are able to observe and make diagnosis on the eggs without disturbing them:
- We are now able to better access the maturity of the eggs after eggs retriveal
- We can identify the spindle apparatus and asses the quality of the eggs
- By visualizing the spindel, we can avoid destroying it during micoinsemination
This new microscope enable us to improve our results.
This new observation has been presented by us a the World IVF meeting in Geneva april 2009

The Copenhagen Fertility was certified by the ISO 9001:2008
Great concern has been raised about fertility tourism because of the uncertainty of the quality in fertility clinic´s abroad. The EU commission issued a law in 2007 , "the EU tissue directive", which both Denmark and UK has implemented to ensure a high and acceptable quality in both countries fertility treatments.
