Patient Information
What is Orchid?
Using whole genome sequencing, Orchid helps families screen for diseases that could affect their chance of having a successful pregnancy and healthy baby.
Orchid's cutting-edge whole genome embryo screening is performed as part of the IVF process. The embryo screening combines Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single Gene Defects (PGT-M), and screens for hundreds of genes linked to severe monogenic diseases.
Orchid obtains 100x more data, and reads >99%* of an embryo's genome (compared to <1% that our competitors read). This is all done using the same 5-6 cell trophectoderm biopsy that other preimplantation genetic tests use. With this advanced data, Orchid can detect conditions that other tests miss.
* Percentage is based on validation studies using genomic regions of National Institute of Standards and Technology - GIAB samples
Why is Orchid different?
Orchid offers several advantages over existing PGT methodologies. These include faster turnaround times, the ability to detect conditions that other tests may miss, and a comprehensive single screen that includes PGT-A, PGT-M, and gene panels. Moreover, Orchid provides one-on-one genetic counseling for all patients at no additional charge.
See our list of screened genes.
Orchid's comprehensive screening combines PGT-A, PGT-M, screens for 100s of genes linked to severe disease, and measures genetic predisposition to disease. These are all screened simultaneously from the same embryo biopsy used in traditional testing. Orchid screening is performed on embryos created as part of the IVF process.

How much does Orchid cost?
As the world's first comprehensive whole genome embryo screening solution, Orchid represents a significant advancement in genetic testing for family planning. Our premium service reads >99% of an embryo's genome, providing unparalleled insight into your future child's health compared to traditional genetic testing methods that only look at <1%.
While our cutting-edge technology and thorough analysis reflect our premium pricing, we understand that building a family is a significant investment. That's why we've partnered with CapexMD to make Orchid more accessible to growing families.
CapexMD specializes in patient financing services for all fertility treatment options. They offer a streamlined financing experience with:
While there can be hundreds of genetic variations within an embryo, Orchid only reports on genes known to cause monogenic disease based on decades of research. Genes included on our panels are selected based on extensive literature searches and information from the Clinical Domain Working Group, a group of independent academic geneticists. Only pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines are included. Carrier status is not reported unless requested.
Any patient could benefit from Orchid, but here are a few examples of patients that would be most interested:
