Vitrolife Micromanipulation Pipettes
Vitrolife Micromanipulation Pipettes provide a complete, procedure-matched portfolio for ICSI, embryo biopsy, zona manipulation, holding, and routine handling. The range covers ICSI pipettes (with or without spike), holding pipettes with rounded polished openings, biopsy pipettes in standard or fluted designs with parallel walls, and PZD pipettes pulled to a sharp point for partial zona dissection. Each pipette is manufactured from quality-assured materials, MEA-tested and endotoxin (LAL) tested, with every unit dimension-checked to minimise lot-to-lot variation—giving embryologists consistent geometry, flow and control across setups. Operationally, the line emphasises precision, choice and control: bend-angle options (e.g., 0°–35° on ICSI/holding families), smooth edges to reduce trauma, and specification transparency (inner/outer diameters, tip length, total length) so teams can harmonise instruments with their micromanipulators and protocols. Storage guidance (+2 to +30 °C) and an accessory ecosystem (autoclavable stainless-steel pipette holder with finger-tip silicone bulb control, ergonomic rack) round out a standardised, reproducible platform for high-stakes ART workflows.
ICSI pipettes are specified for aspiration and intracytoplasmic injection of a single sperm; designs include sharp tips with/without spike and defined bend angles, enabling stable penetration and controlled discharge during ICSI. Clear specs (e.g., tip length, inner diameter, total length) support reproducibility across setups. Holding pipettes employ a rounded tip and polished opening; optimal lumen diameter and smooth edges allow secure immobilisation of oocyte/embryo with reduced shear stress, and they’re designed to match ICSI pipettes for coordinated manipulation.
Biopsy pipettes are offered in standard and fluted variants; both provide smooth edges and parallel walls for linear fluid flow. The fluted design has a heavy fire-polished, collapsed finish suited to delicate trophectoderm sampling—addressing fragmentation risk and handling variability. PZD pipettes are pulled to a sharp point for creating a small slit in the zona pellucida, enabling assisted hatching or facilitating biopsy entry—reducing procedure steps and tool changes in workflows that require controlled zona access.
To combat lot-to-lot variability—a major pain in delicate micromanipulation—all stages of production are controlled from raw materials to final product; every pipette is dimension-checked, and materials are MEA- and endotoxin-tested.
Pages list key dimensions (e.g., inner/outer diameters, angles, lengths) and storage conditions (+2 to +30 °C), allowing clinics to tune resistance/flow and ergonomics to their micromanipulators and clinical protocols—reducing setup guesswork.
The accessory set includes an autoclavable stainless-steel pipette holder with silicone bulb for finger-tip pressure control and a stable rack; handling pipettes with preassembled bulb are documented, streamlining denudation/transfer handling and reducing operator variability.
Vitrolife frames micromanipulation as part of a complete ICSI assortment built on 30+ years of development—tools and media “tested, tried and trusted” worldwide—addressing the pain of fragmented sourcing and mixed performance across critical steps.
