Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Screening embryos for genetic and chromosomal conditions before transfer — advanced testing, available in Solapur.
- PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR & NICS
- Advanced testing in Solapur
- Performed on frozen blastocysts
About this treatment
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) examines an embryo's chromosomes or genes before it's transferred, so the healthiest embryo can be chosen. A few cells are gently biopsied from a day-5–6 blastocyst and analysed while the embryos remain safely frozen.
We offer the full range of PGT — options usually only available at large metropolitan centres, available here in Solapur: PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR and non-invasive chromosomal screening (NICS).
Who it's for
- Advanced maternal age
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Recurrent implantation failure
- A known inherited genetic condition in the family
- A previous pregnancy with a chromosomal condition
Key benefits
- PGT-A — screens for chromosome-number abnormalities (aneuploidy)
- PGT-M — tests for single-gene (monogenic) disorders
- PGT-SR — detects chromosomal structural rearrangements
- NICS — non-invasive chromosomal screening for embryo selection

Genetic Testing (PGT) — your questions
Common questions about this treatment. Anything else? Our team is happy to talk it through.
No test is a guarantee, but PGT meaningfully improves embryo selection — reducing miscarriage risk and the chance of transferring an embryo with a tested condition. Your specialist will explain what it can and can't tell you.
The biopsy is performed by experienced embryologists on day-5–6 blastocysts using a laser, and embryos are frozen while results are awaited. It's a well-established technique.
It depends on your history — PGT-A for chromosome number, PGT-M for a known single-gene disorder, PGT-SR for structural rearrangements, or NICS as a non-invasive option. We'll guide you.

Fertility outcomes vary from person to person and depend on age, diagnosis and other individual factors; no result is guaranteed. Figures shown are measured per embryo transfer at our Solapur centre — a beta-hCG positive (pregnancy-test) rate and a live-birth rate; a positive test is an earlier milestone than a live birth, and any comparison figures for other centres are their own publicly advertised numbers, which may be measured differently. Please consult our specialists for advice specific to you.
