Behind the scenes: our rigorous multi-stage donor screening process

When you browse our catalog, you see smiles, beautiful eyes, and profiles detailing talents. But behind every profile stands a multi-level medical and genetic “filter”. Becoming a donor in our bank is harder than getting into a prestigious university.

We have developed a Hard Selection system to ensure that every egg has the maximum potential for a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child.

Social and psychological profiling

It starts with personality, not tests. We screen candidates during the interview stage:

  • Age and lifestyle: we only work with women aged 18 to 35 who have no harmful habits.
  • Proven fertility: preference is given to women who already have at least one healthy child of their own.
  • Psychological maturity: every candidate is cleared by a psychologist to ensure they fully understand their decision.

The Genetic “gold standard”

Unlike many clinics that only perform basic tests, we conduct deep DNA research:

  • Karyotyping: we study the donor’s chromosome structure to eliminate risks of miscarriage or fetal pathologies.
  • NGS-sequencing: we screen for hundreds of hidden genetic diseases. We know more about their DNA than they do themselves.
  • Family history: we analyze the family medical history up to the third generation.

Reproductive health check-up

  • Ultrasound monitoring: assessing the antral follicle count.
  • Hormone panel: checking AMH and FSH levels to ensure a high quality of oocytes.
  • Infectious safety: regular testing for HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis, and TORCH infections.

Post-thaw quality (vitrifaction success)

Our embryologists use vitrification (ultra-fast freezing), which preserves cell integrity at a 98-99% success rate. We guarantee that after thawing, the egg will be just as ready for fertilization as it was on the day it was retrieved.
