The EmbryoSlide+ culture dish is a radiation-sterilized polystyrene culture dish containing two separate reservoirs. Each reservoir has eight culture wells, and each well is used to culture one embryo. Therefore, a total of 16 embryos can be cultured on one dish. Each dish includes four special wells that are only used for rinsing and handling the embryos either before or after incubation. An adhesive barcode label printed from the EmbryoViewer software is used to mark each dish. The barcode label contains two different 2D data matrices that provide information on the patient (name, patient ID, treatment ID, and insemination time). The EmbryoSlide+ culture dish has a sterility assurance level of 10-6 and a shelf-life of four years. This device is subject to mouse embryo assay (MEA) and endotoxin testing before lot release.
A sterile container intended for preparing and culturing gametes or embryos for use in assisted reproduction techniques (ART). Such techniques include in vitro fertilization (IVF), fertilization via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), or other in IVF procedures. It is intended for use in assisted reproduction clinics and is specific to the procedure(s) and policies used in IVF. It is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, e.g., multi well dishes, Petri dishes, ICSI dishes and typically designed with an optically clear bottom for optimum manipulation and observation of ova and embryos. This is a single-use device.
