Procedural times for the conventional biopsy and the S-biopsy methods. The time required for the conventional method, as measured from fixing the embryo to the holding pipette to storing the blastomere in a PCR tube, was 897.7 ± 34.0 s. The time required of the S-biopsy method, as measured from the time when the embryo was located to the storing of the blastomere into a PCR tube, was 179.2 ± 17.5 s. Comparison between the methods indicates the time to perform the S-biopsy method was significantly quicker (***, p < 0.001, Student’s t test)
