Blastomere Biopsy Pipettes
Blastomere biopsy pipettes are used to remove blastomeres and trophectoderm cells from embryos for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Sunlight’s pipettes are manufactured to the exacting standards of consistency, precision, and reliability that the company is known for.
These micropipettes are made by Sunlight Medical (SLM) and distributed by UniMedLine.
