Nanopoint's cellTRAY Microfluidics System provides laminar flow similar to in vivo conditions. The flow delivery software enables a pulse rhythm which mimics the oviduct environment, providing physiological benefits such as nutrient media content on all surfaces of the oocyte, and a constant flow of fresh media without the need for cell manipulations.
The system includes:
- cellTRAY Slide
- Microfluidics Delivery System and Incubator
- Protocols & Warranty
- Mini Microscope
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
