Description

The Pipette Company was founded in 1999 by a group of Australian scientists working in reproductive medicine.

Strict principles of designing micropipettes for optimal clinical outcomes made the high quality pipettes a success from day one.

In 2000 the first micropipettes were shipped to embryologists and the popularity of the very carefully designed ICSI pipettes grew quickly.

• Designed by embryologists and reproductive scientists
• Precision manufactured in Australia, to the strictest standards
• Every pipette is checked and measured repeatedly during manufacture by experienced technicians

• Long, parallel tapers provide smooth, effortless fluid control during micromanipulation.
• The bases of all pipettes are cut square and are lightly heat polished to prevent sharp edges from damaging silicon seals inside microtool holders.
• Injection pipettes have a precision engineered ‘sharp-blunt’ spike which penetrates the zona pellucida easily, but does not tear the oolemma and cause oocyte degeneration. TPC spikes are very consistent and uniform in both shape and length.
• Holding pipettes have a large, square, flat face and a proportionately large inner diameter, which provides better support for the oocyte and embryo and reduces distortion during micromanipulation.
• Biopsy pipettes have a beveled or square face, and a lightly heat-polished tip without nicks or chips, which enables the user to safely remove cells with minimal damage to the embryo or the biopsied cells.
• Zona drilling pipettes are square and lightly heat polished to reduce the possibility of damage to the embryo or polar body due to sharp edges.
• Zona cutting (PZD) pipettes are stout and sharp, ensuring easy penetration of the zona pellucida.
