The Pipette Company was established in 1999.

We are a specialist manufacturer, we only do one thing - manufacture micromanipulation pipettes - and we do it very well.

TPC pipettes are manufactured under the direct supervision of scientists who have been actively involved in reproductive medicine and micromanipulation for many years, and they have been designed specifically to produce optimal clinical outcomes and minimise oocyte/embryo degeneration rates.

Specific design features of standard pipettes include:

1. 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.
2. Holding pipettes have a large, square face and a proportionately large inner diameter, which provides better support for the oocyte and embryo, and thereby reduces distortion during micromanipulation.
3. Biopsy pipettes have a bevelled, heat-polished tip which enables the pipette to be inserted through a relatively small opening in the zona pellucida and remove the blastomere with minimal damage to the embryo or blastomere.
4. Zona drilling pipettes are square and heat polished to reduce the possibility of damage due to sharp edges.
5. Zona cutting (PZD) pipettes are stout and sharp, ensuring easy penetration through the zona pellucida.

This ensures that you receive only the very highest quality pipettes.
