- Microfluidic automation improves oocyte recovery from follicular fluid in IVF.
- Developed FIND-Chip for automated oocyte isolation and denudation.
- Clinical study with 582 patients showed over 50% of functional oocytes are discarded in current practice.
- Undetected oocytes developed into high-quality blastocysts, expanding embryo pool.
- One oocyte retrieved by FIND-Chip from discarded sample led to a live birth.
- Authors have financial interests in AutoIVF Inc., with patent applications related to FIND-Chip.
