New Standards in IVF Laboratories in North Macedonia

Plodnost Sets a New Benchmark
When it comes to the success of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), the public often focuses on visible factors—embryo quality, maternal age, or treatment strategy. However, the truth is that some of the most critical parts of the IVF process happen behind closed doors, inside the embryology laboratory.
Plodnost Introduces North Macedonia’s Most Advanced ISO 6 IVF Laboratory
At Plodnost Hospital, we have been at the forefront of reproductive medicine in North Macedonia for years. With the launch of our new IVF laboratory, we are now aligning with the highest global standards, becoming the first and only centre in the country to operate under ISO Class 6 conditions.


What’s new in our laboratory?
HEPA and ULPA air filtration systems – provide ultra-clean environments, protecting embryos from particles and contamination.
Controlled ventilation with laminar flow – ensures a smooth and sterile airflow, reducing cross-contamination risks.
Stable medical gas supply systems – regulate the pressure and composition needed for optimal embryo culture.
Independently regulated cryo-room – maintains strict hygiene and temperature control during freezing processes.
Why does this matter?
Embryos are extremely sensitive to environmental changes. Even minor fluctuations in temperature, air purity, or humidity can negatively impact their development.
By implementing these technologies, Plodnost ensures maximum precision and clinical stability at every stage of the IVF process. This translates into:
Greater embryo viability
Higher implantation rates
Increased chances of a successful pregnancy
Technology Meets Vision: The Role of Our Embryologist
“This is more than just a lab upgrade. It’s a new philosophy in IVF care—one where technology, high standards, and compassion work together for every couple,” says embryologist Goran Stefanovski, who led the design and implementation of the new systems.
Why Couples Choose Plodnost
With over 8,000 IVF procedures performed and a reputation for innovation, Plodnost Hospital continues to lead the way in fertility care across the region. We don’t just meet expectations—we raise them.
