Microfluidics Delivery System
- Laminar flow is similar to the in vivo condition of the oviduct versus the current static culture method
- Pulse rhythm mimics the in vivo condition of the oviduct
- Fluid flow imparts movement and rotation of the oocyte, leading to increased fertilization and physiological benefits, such as nutrient media contact on all surfaces of the oocyte/embryo and the provision of fresh media without cell manipulations
- Reduced oocyte/embryo stresses due to reduced cell manipulations
- Greater consistency of incubation conditions
- Elimination of mineral oil
- Reduced personnel handling
- Small footprint
- Expandable
The cellTRAY® for Assisted Reproduction Applications
- Biocompatible materials – borosilicate glass bottom is bonded to polycarbonate top piece with etched wells and channels
- Well sizes can easily accommodate the loading and unloading of embryos
- Well walls constrain the embryo mimicking the reproductive tract
- Channel dimensions accommodate laminar flow similar to the in vivo condition of the oviduct
- Small nutrient media volume (3-5µL) within a well is comparable to the volumes within the lumen of the reproductive tracts (> 6x reduction in consumables)
- Lower embryo to media volume ratio within a well promotes increased exchange of nutrients and embryo products

- Optical magnification of 1.8 X. Digital magnification to 10X
- Manual stage moves in the XY direction while maintaining focus
- Onstage incubation system fits under the Mini Microscope cover
- Internal light source
