General Information
Our range of
standard pipettes has been designed to produce optimal results for all micromanipulation techniques, including intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo biopsy, polar body biopsy and assisted hatching.
The range includes:
- Holding pipettes
- Injection pipettes
- Embryo biopsy pipettes
- Zona drilling pipettes
- Zona cutting (PZD) pipettes
Standard pipettes all have a 1.0 mm tip length and 30 degree bend, but they are also available with 2 bends (Z-shaped) or without any bends (straight).
Please note that Z-shaped pipettes are designed for low angle entry and their availability is limited.
Injection and embryo biopsy pipettes are manufactured for both right and left handed use.
If our standard pipettes do not suit your requirements, we can manufacture
custom pipettes to your specifications. We maintain stocks of many custom pipettes, so we may already have suitable
pipettes in stock.
We also manufacture pipettes for other applications, such as micromanipulation of non-human gametes and embryos, DNA injection into
cells, stem cell research and other specialized research applications in the biological and physical sciences. These may be listed on this website as
custom pipettes. If not, please contact us.
TPC pipettes are precision crafted to exacting standards. Every stage, from materials evaluation through manufacture, testing and
packaging is meticulously supervised by scientists with decades of experience in reproductive medicine.
Pipettes are manufactured from 1.0 mm (OD) borosilicate glass capillaries which have been extensively washed in 18.2 MΩ per cm water.
TPC pipettes are single packed and gamma sterilised, ready for use. We can also supply non-sterile pipettes for research applications. Pipettes are packaged in protective holders, which are colour coded for easy identification of the different types, and are supplied in boxes of 10.
