Controlled environment
A unique laboratory service
CRM London is the first fertility clinic in the UK designed with purity of the environment in the laboratory in mind. CODA Laboratory was created by Dr Jacques Cohen, generally acknowledged to be the worlds leading clinical embryologist.
As embryos are so delicate, we have designed optimal environmental conditions for their safe development by eliminating all potentially harmful compounds from the laboratory.
An independent international air quality expert describes us as :
"Possibly the purest IVF facility in Europe and one of the best in the world"
– Antonia Gilligan, Alpha Environmental Inc., USA. April 2002.
Unique features include :
Customised air filtration:
A powerful air handling and purification system cleans the outside air, preventing harmful substances from reaching the laboratory.
A particle free environment:
Independent studies have demonstrated that there is less than 1 particle per cubic foot of air in the immediate environment where embryos are handled.
Low volatile organic compounds (VOC):
CODA scientists have demonstrated that VOC are harmful to embryo development. We have tried to eliminate VOC using patented technology to improve embryo quality.
We consider our laboratory as an Intensive Care Unit for embryos.
In a comfortable environment
The Clinical facilities have been designed to develop a modern, calm and relaxing space for both patients and staff. Fertility treatment can be stressful and our clinic has been built to integrate the requirements of high technology medicine with a sensitivity to the needs and anxieties of individuals and couples. The Royal Institute of British Architects published a feature on the Clinic stating:
"(CRM London) combines the formality of its science and administration spaces with a more relaxed atmosphere in the public areas"
