Company Summary :

 

The Embryomic proprietary test, PMT-BC, is based on 12 years of development data and utilises mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS) to analyse recently fertilised embryos (blastocysts). The test of new blastocysts is calibrated/checked against thousands of digitally stored spectra/biomarkers and uploaded into a predictive algorithm. This patented (2020) algorithm identifies the most metabolically competent/viable embryo for IVF transfer (to mother) and will reduce IVF treatment cycles (time to pregnancy), costs and emotional stress for prospective parents.

 

Key highlights:

  • IVF as a fertility treatment is growing globally in importance.
  • Only 25-30% of IVF treatment cycles succeed.
  • PMT-BC Test developed over 20 years of research with IVF clinics, subjecting 12,000 spent blastocysts(embryos) to MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry over 12 years and building a digital spectra library for use in predictive algorithm. 
  • Patents granted in EU, UK and China
  • Lab established 2024 in DCU Innovation Campus 
  • Validation studies of PMT-BC have started at a large Irish IVF Clinic chain, SIMS, and has received ethics approval from its parent company in Australia.
  • Progress is being made with a German clinic to participate in a parallel validation study.
