The most common application of this system is in ICSI and other related methods. In this technique, sperm is injected into the cytoplasm of the oocyte. This method is very effective in treating cases where sperm does not have the ability to move
and mate with the oocyte.
Tarfand’s microinjection workstation is a medical device specifically designed and optimized for ICSI. But there are much more applications. Other applications of this product include the following:
Selection of individual cells (e.g., biopsies, single cell picking)
Generation of transgenic animals (e.g., zebra fish)
Stem cell research
Nuclear transfer
Positioning and selection of micro particles
Microdissection of chromosomes, etc.
Fast but gentle at the same time!
We have developed our electrical micromanipulator Prolific® G1 specifically for high demanding cell manipulation applications. It is designed to meet strict requirements of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers.
Our competent team of engineers has enjoyed the advantage of consulting with some of the most prominent embryologists and IVF experts prior and during the development phase of this product. We understand the two main concerns of ICSI specialists. While your precious cells should not be stressed or experience any traumatic shock, there is a continuous struggle to cope with the
heavy workload of your clinic.
Considering this, built-in functions embedded in the control interface will help you speed up the sample handling process. Furthermore, improved joint mechanism and angle head design allow rapid capillary set-up and replacement.
