The Esco Medical CultureCoin® is an IVF culture dish designed specifically for the MIRI® TL. The MIRI® TL is Esco Medical's time-lapse incubator that captures real-time images of developing embryos which can be viewed as time-lapse videos.The CultureCoin® is a single-use, gamma-sterilized culture dish that has oxygen plasma-treated surfaces for effective prevention of bubble formation. Its ergonomic design makes it easy for embryologists to load a total of 14 embryos while being able to safely and securely handle them inside the incubator. This culture well features a 300µ, optically clear area for embryo placement which is optimized for microscopy.
The numbered culture wells make it possible for the easy location of each culture well and embryo placement by the user. Each culture well has two wash wells used for cell manipulations, washing, or replacing culture media.
The user can opt to have a mounted lid located inside the circumference of the dish covering the culture area completely or a full cover for the entire IVF culture dish.
A reservoir located outside of the embryo culture zone for spot pH measuring without affecting the cultured samples.
The flat bottom design makes it ideal for consistent temperature transfer from the heated bottom which is very important for IVF culture systems as any deviation from the desired temperature set points will result to poor embryo development.
Writeable areas on the IVF culture dish allow for easy identification of embryos belonging to the patient
