UNIVERSAL HOSPITAL

Our Partnership with Universal Hospital

Creating a High-Precision, MOH-Approved IVF Laboratory

Client Overview

Universal Hospital set out to build a world-class IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) laboratory capable of delivering high-success fertility outcomes through precision-controlled environments.
To achieve this, they required a consultancy partner with expertise in cleanroom engineering, laboratory design, and regulatory compliance, particularly for sensitive reproductive technologies.

Their mission was to develop an IVF facility that met the highest standards of sterility, environmental control, workflow optimization, and Ministry of Health (MOH) approvals.
They chose us.

The Challenge

Building an IVF laboratory is significantly more complex than developing a standard clinical space. The sensitivity of embryos, gametes, and culture media demands absolute environmental stability. Key challenges included:

• Designing an IVF laboratory that meets stringent MOH requirements
• Engineering cleanroom partitions that support controlled embryology workflows
• Supplying cleanroom-equipment compatible with IVF-grade sterility levels
• Integrating a low-side HVAC system with precise temperature, humidity, and VOC control
• Installing IVF-appropriate vinyl flooring to minimize particle generation
• Completing the entire consultancy and setup within a strict 3-month timeline

The mission was clear: build a facility where every environmental parameter supports successful fertilization, embryo development, and patient outcomes.

Our Approach: Precision-Driven IVF Lab Engineering

We deployed a multidisciplinary consultancy team specializing in IVF laboratory planning, cleanroom design, HVAC engineering, and regulatory compliance.
Our approach was rooted in scientific precision, contamination-control strategies, and IVF-specific workflow design.

Conceptual & Technical Design for IVF Success

We began by thoroughly understanding Universal Hospital’s clinical goals and embryology workflow requirements.
The conceptual and technical design included:

• Cleanroom zoning mapped to critical IVF processes such as oocyte handling, embryo culture, ICSI, cryopreservation, and andrology procedures
• Air quality design ensuring ISO-classified conditions for embryo-sensitive areas
• Layout planning that protected embryology workflows from contamination sources
• Ensuring structural compatibility with MOH and international laboratory standards

Every element was intentionally planned to support delicate IVF procedures.

Cleanroom Partitions: Creating Controlled Embryology Environments

We designed and oversaw the installation of:

• High-precision cleanroom partitions for segregating embryology, cryo, and lab support areas
• Airtight barrier systems to prevent particulate, VOC, and microbial intrusion
• Seamless partition integration for ease of sanitization and long-term stability

These partitions formed the foundational structure of Universal Hospital’s controlled IVF space.

Cleanroom Equipment: Supporting Sterility and Workflow Efficiency

Our consultancy included the selection and implementation of IVF-specific cleanroom equipment such as:

• Laminar flow hoods designed for embryology procedures
• HEPA and ULPA filtration systems for ISO-grade air purity
• Pass-through chambers for contamination-free material transfer
• Decontamination and environmental control systems
• Specialized temperature and humidity control units tailored to IVF laboratory needs

The equipment ensured a sterile, embryo-safe working environment.

Low-Side HVAC: Engineering Stable Environmental Conditions

The HVAC system is the heart of an IVF laboratory.
We designed and facilitated the installation of a low-side HVAC system capable of:

• Maintaining stable temperature (22–24°C) and humidity (40–60%)
• Protecting the space from VOCs and airborne contaminants
• Delivering consistent pressure differentials to preserve sterility
• Supporting HEPA-filtered airflow for critical embryology zones

This system ensured that embryos and oocytes remained in optimal environments at all times.

Vinyl Flooring: Hygienic, Seamless, and IVF-Ready

To minimize particulate generation and ensure easy sanitation, we selected and implemented:

• Medical-grade vinyl flooring engineered for cleanroom conditions
• Seamless, coved installations to eliminate contamination traps
• Anti-static and anti-microbial surface properties suitable for IVF labs

The result was a hygienic, durable flooring system designed for sterile laboratory operations.

Collaboration, Execution & MOH Approval

Throughout the project, we worked closely with Universal Hospital’s clinical and engineering teams to ensure:

• Laboratory layouts aligned with embryologist workflows
• HVAC and cleanroom systems met MOH compliance requirements
• All documentation and engineering designs passed regulatory approvals smoothly
• The entire project was delivered within the 3-month timeline
  

The facility achieved full MOH approval, validating compliance with strict environmental and operational standards.

The Result: A High-Performance, MOH-Approved IVF Laboratory

The completed IVF laboratory now offers:

• Cleanroom-engineered spaces designed for reproductive medicine
• IVF-grade environmental control through specialized HVAC systems
• Sterile work areas supported by high-performance equipment
• Seamless vinyl flooring for ultra-clean workflows
• A fully MOH-approved facility ready for patient services

Key Achievements

• Delivered a complete IVF laboratory setup within 3 months
• Designed cleanroom partitions and equipment tailored to embryology
• Engineered a low-side HVAC system meeting IVF-grade environmental standards
• Achieved MOH approval for cleanroom, workflow, and environmental compliance
• Created a future-ready IVF lab optimized for success rates and patient outcomes

What This Project Says About Us

This project highlights our ability to:

• Engineer scientifically precise IVF and embryology environments
• Deliver contamination-controlled laboratories within aggressive timelines
• Navigate strict regulatory requirements and approvals
• Build facilities where life-changing fertility outcomes can thrive

Conclusion

Universal Hospital’s new IVF laboratory stands as a benchmark in reproductive medicine.
Every design decision, technical integration, and workflow solution was tailored to support embryo health, sterility, and precision.

With full MOH approval and a future-ready infrastructure, this facility enables Universal Hospital to offer advanced IVF services with confidence, reliability, and global-standard quality.

We don’t just build laboratories.
We create environments where new beginnings take life.
