Aligneage Fertility is a fully accredited, state-of-the-art andrology laboratory and tissue bank located in midtown Manhattan. We provide high-quality, equitably accessible, compassionate, and personalized evidence-based andrology services, donor screening procedures, and fertility guidance. Our vision is to contribute to a world in which individuals can access the experts, information, services, and technologies to enhance their family building experience.

ASIAN EGG BANK (AEB)
Asian Egg Bank (AEB) supports intended parents—including gay couples and LGBTQ+ families—by providing screened donor eggs from a large selection of donors of Asian ancestry. With 700+ active donors and 1,500+ vitrified frozen eggs available, we help families access donor options without long wait times. We are not a fertility clinic, and we do not provide medical treatment, surrogacy services, or procedures. Instead, we work alongside you and your fertility clinic (and, if applicable, your agency) by supplying vitrified donor eggs and the donor information needed to support your family-building plan. AEB offers ready-to-match vitrified frozen donor eggs, helping many intended parents move forward faster than coordinating a fresh cycle. Donor profiles are built for informed matching and may include physical characteristics, education, family medical history, and photos/videos from childhood through adulthood. Depending on jurisdiction and preference, donor options may include ID-release and non-ID-release formats. All donors complete comprehensive screening, including medical and psychological evaluation, infectious-disease testing, and expanded genetic screening panels. AEB also offers guarantee options (including blastocyst-focused programs) to support confidence and planning. We ship vitrified donor eggs to approved clinics in the United States and internationally, including Canada, the Czech Republic, Singapore, Mexico, and Vietnam, and Australia, with multilingual, culturally sensitive support throughout.
