IVFtech Unica Cabinet

IVFtech Unica Cabinet 

The IVFtech UNICA is a semi closed system.

A careful gamete and embryos manipulation has always been a key element of laboratory embryology and has contributed substantially to the success of many assisted reproduction procedures.

Suboptimal in vitro conditions may both distress the competence to develop in vitro and lead to irreversible long-term alterations in the characteristics of the foetal and post natal growth. Therefore caution should be taken in the handling and manipulation of the oocytes and early embryos in order to achieve a stable biological optimal atmosphere, which creates optimal conditions for embryo growth.

The employment of IVF controlled-atmosphere workstation has been proposed in order to meet the special requirements of oocyte and embryo handling during IVF daily routine.

This self-contained chamber reproduces the incubator conditions allowing the embryologists to perform oocytes and embryos manipulations while minimizing even slight alterations of the environmental conditions (temperature changes, gas composition, culture medium osmolarity and pH) and preserving the embryo developmental potential.

Features   

• Easy access to the chamber        
• Visual alarms       
• Good environment for oocyte and embryo handling
• Monitor to be placed or integrated on top of the UNICA
• Options table top:
• Standard heat 450 x 650mm   
• Witness preparation flush
• Himacs: Table top Hi-MACS
• The surface of the table comes in Hi-MACS, which is natural minerals blended with pure acrylic resin to form a solid durable material. It is available in many different colours.
• It is easy to clean, hygenic and does not absorb liquids or odours. Clean with soapy water or use an abrasive cleanser and a green Scotch-Brite pad. Easy to see the writing on the dish when working on the Hi-Macs® surface.
• Filtration: Class H-14 HEPA filters in accordance with EN 1822. Filter efficiency 99.999% against 0.3 μm particle size. 99.995% in MPPS. HEPA filters are protected by a carbon pre-filter for longer life.
