Vitrolife can offer a wide selection of micromanipulation pipettes, all with the same high quality. The following characteristics are the same for all pipettes:
Material
All micromanipulation pipettes are made of high quality borosilicate glass.
Production
All pipettes are produced in a class C clean room. The glass capillaries undergo extensive washing with deionised water during the production process.
|
The production process is partly automated in order to minimize product exposure to contamination from handling.
Packaging
The pipettes are individually packaged. Each pipette is secured in a silicone holder. The holder is placed in a glass tube and sealed to ensure that the pipette remains sterile and well protected during transportation and storage.
Sterilization
All Swemed pipettes are dry heat sterilized at 160°C/320°F.
Quality control
Each pipette is microscopically measured and inspected, which guarantees that all pipettes are within specified tolerances and that they are free from glass fragments and other residuals. |
