What treatment options are available at Next Biosciences?

  • PGT-A — preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, screening embryos for an abnormal number of chromosomes so clinics can select healthy embryos for transfer; used to improve pregnancy success rates and reduce miscarriage risk, particularly for recurrent implantation failure and severe male-factor infertility
  • PGT-M — testing embryos for a known familial single-gene condition (e.g. cystic fibrosis), with a custom test designed for each family’s unique mutation and a compulsory PGT-M-specific genetic counselling session
  • PGT-SR — testing embryos for structural chromosome rearrangements

Endometrial health & receptivity testing

  • ERA, EMMA and ALICE — tests that determine the optimal time and environment for embryo implantation, particularly valuable for recurrent implantation failure or recurrent pregnancy loss during IVF

Pregnancy-loss & prenatal genetics

  • POCScreen — genetic analysis of products of conception (miscarriage tissue testing), directly relevant for couples investigating recurrent pregnancy loss
  • TriScreen NIPT — non-invasive prenatal testing assessing the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities in early pregnancy
  • MiniMi — their additional genetics product alongside POCScreen and TriScreen

Support & adjacent services

  • Genetic counselling — they have an in-house genetic counsellor, with pre-test counselling advised for PGT
  • Netcells — umbilical cord blood and cord tissue stem cell banking at birth, AABB-accredited (the first cord blood bank in Africa with that accreditation), in both private and community banking options — the natural “after the fertility journey succeeds” service
  • Lifestyle/health genetics (3X4 genetic testing — the product in the ad link you sent — plus PharmaGene and Viome), which are wellness rather than fertility services

More about Next Biosciences

Empowering Reproductive Possibility

Next Biosciences is a leading South African biotech company which combines medicine, science and technology to invest in innovative health technologies with the core focus being to enable people to positively impact their health with science.

Next Biosciences offers a range of services that empower reproductive health decisions that matter most, and support you along your reproductive journey. One of these services include Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), which is a genetic test that can be performed on embryos produced through IVF to screen for chromosomal abnormalities. The term ‘preimplantation’ is used because testing is performed on embryos during the time before they would naturally implant into the uterus (usually after day 6). PGT-A is offered as a complement to a patient’s in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment.

PGT-A offered by Next Biosciences aims to improve pregnancy success rates and reduce the risk of miscarriage by avoiding the transfer of embryos with the incorrect number of chromosomes
