Our results demonstrate the suitability of femtosecond laser as a novel tool for noninvasive embryo tagging, enabling embryo identification from day 0.5 post coitum to at least early blastocyst stage. Thus, the versatility and the potential use of femtosecond lasers in the field of developmental biology and assisted reproduction have been shown.
