Biopsy Micropipette
For removing a blastomere cell, trophectoderm cells or polar body for preimplantation genetic testing. The Biopsy Micropipette is an essential tool in IVF and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), used to safely remove one or more cells (blastomeres or trophectoderm cells) from an embryo for genetic analysis—without compromising embryo viability.
Features & Benefits
- Straight, sharp-cut tip: Enables precise excision of cells from the embryo with clean, controlled movements
- Wide inner diameter: Designed to accommodate cell size and allow gentle aspiration without damaging the cells
- Polished, smooth edges: Minimizes trauma to both the embryo and the biopsied cells
- Consistent dimensions: Ensures reproducibility and reliability across procedures
Holding Micropipette
For holding oocyte, embryo or blastocyst during intracytoplasmic sperm injection or PGT techniques. The Holding Micropipette is a vital companion tool in micromanipulation procedures like ICSI and embryo biopsy, designed to gently stabilize oocytes or embryos during delicate interventions under a microscope.
Features & Benefits
- Flat, polished tip: Offers secure yet gentle contact with the oocyte or embryo surface without causing deformation or damage
- Angled shaft (typically 35°–40°): Optimized for ergonomic micromanipulation and alignment with injection or biopsy pipettes
- Precise outer diameter and suction control: Ensures steady immobilization during procedures such as ICSI, assisted hatching, or biopsy
- Smooth interior and consistent wall thickness: Reduces turbulence during aspiration and ensures responsive handling
ICSI Injection Micropipette
For intracytoplasmic injection of sperm inside the oocyte. The ICSI Injection Micropipette is a specialized micro tool used in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)—a critical technique in IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an oocyte (egg). This pipette is engineered for maximum precision and minimal disruption to the oocyte during the injection process.
Features & Benefits
- Ultra-fine, tapered tip: Designed to smoothly penetrate the zona pellucida and oolemma with minimal resistance, reducing the risk of oocyte damage
- High-quality borosilicate glass: Ensures durability, clarity, and smooth inner surfaces for consistent sperm flow
- Angle and bevel customization: Typically comes with a 30°–35° bend and finely polished bevel to suit various micromanipulation techniques
- Consistent inner diameter: Facilitates smooth sperm loading and release, helping ensure successful fertilization
