According to the research team, from Harvard University and a Peking University, the new screening method of detecting healthy embryos could increase the success of IVF to 60% or more.
Experts said trials of the test could offer hope to older women, but a UK fertility expert has said it should be met with caution.
The research, which has been published in the journal Cell, involves the removal of left-over fragments of cells – known as polar bodies – from the early developing embryo and analysing their full genetic code.
Lead researcher, Jie Qiao of Third Hospital, Peking University, is quoted as saying: "Theoretically, if this works perfectly, we will be able to double the success rate of test tube baby technology from 30% to 60% or even more."
Co-researcher, Xiaoliang Sunney Xie of Harvard University, added that the technique allows DNA contributed by the mum to the growing embryo to be screened for any genetic abnormalities that could lead to IVF failure.

IVF Success Rate Could Be Doubled
New research has claimed the success rate of IVF could be doubled through mapping the genetic code of fertilised eggs.According to the research team, from Harvard University and a Peking University, the new screening method of detecting healthy embryos could increase the success of IVF to 60% or more.
Experts said trials of the test could offer hope to older women, but a UK fertility expert has said it should be met with caution.
