TPC™ Holding Micropipettes
Holding micropipettes play a crucial role in assisted reproductive procedures by securely holding and immobilizing oocytes or embryos. The square-shaped, flat face of these pipettes provides a substantial and stable platform, offering enhanced support for delicate oocytes and embryos.
Key Features
- Proportionately large ID to provide better support and reduce distortion during micromanipulation1
- Three sizes offered to cover all your micromanipulation needs: small, medium, standard
Packaging
A larger micropipette is used to hold an embryo, usually during a biopsy procedure, and the medium holding micropipettes are for holding an oocyte, usually in an ICSI procedure. A smaller ID is used when biopsying a zona-free blastocyst.
The micropipette can rest on the bottom of the micromanipulation dish.
The pipette should be removed in a sterile way from its packaging; the tip should not touched with the fingers, it should be directly installed on the pipette holder.
We also recommend as well that you keep the micropipette under an oil overlay.
