Centrifuge Tube 15 mL
Vitrolife Sweden AB · Model 16105
A sterile container (a dedicated sealable centrifuge tube) intended for the preparation, centrifuging and storage of biological samples used in assisted reproduction techniques (ART), e.g., sperm. It is intended for use in assisted reproduction clinics and is specific to the procedure(s) and policies used in, in vitro fertilization (IVF). Its main application being the separation of unwanted biological material of human origin, e.g., by adding semen and a gradient to the biological material in the tube and applying centrifugation, this facilitates the removal of seminal plasma, dead sperm and other cells; spermatozoa of highest mobility can be thus selected. This is a single-use device.
Key tips
- ·Run QC controls before trusting any repair - an analyzer that passes self-test can still report clinically wrong results.
- ·Rule out a reagent lot change before opening the instrument - it can look exactly like a hardware fault.
- ·Centrifuge rotors have a hard retirement age/cycle limit regardless of visible condition - don't eyeball it.
