  • All pipettes are inspected with a microscope
    100% of the pipettes are inspected by microscope for mechanical integrity before they are released to customers. Each pipette is measured and inspected, which guarantees that all pipettes are within specified tolerances and that they are free from glass fragments and other residuals.

  • ICSI dish, designed and tested for IVF
    Since a study by Njis et al (Fertil Steril. Aug; 92(2): 527-535. 2009) showed that dishes used for ICSI can be reprotoxic we decided to design our own: guaranteed embryo and gamete safe. The square format and low profile ICSI dish allows for easy instrument access. The bottom of the dish reaches all the way to the heated stage and is designed for optimal heat transfer.
  • Wide selection of ICSI pipettes
    Our ICSI pipettes are designed to quickly penetrate the oocyte and inject the sperm. The sperm is immobilized and the sharp tip penetrates the zona pellucid with minimal damage. Optimal lumen diameter reduces the cytoplasm aspirated into the needle and the amount of fluid injected into the oocyte. The pipettes are supplied with and without spike.
  • Safe ICSI™ sperm handling solution
    ICSI™ solution makes it easier to immobilise the sperm before injection. It contains recombinant human serum albumin, which is structurally identical to plasma-derived human serum albumin but is free from any viral/ prion contamination concerns and plasma-derived impurities.
