Pretested <strong>BD</strong> Falcon IVF products<br />
<strong>BD</strong> Falcon In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) products are the first<br />
plasticware available that is certified sterile, non‑pyrogenic and non‑<br />
embryotoxic. These pre‑tested products save you time and expense<br />
in complying with the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and<br />
American Fertility Society (AFS) recommended standards for IVF labs.<br />
Mouse embryo testing<br />
Products are manufactured in compliance with cGMP standards.<br />
each lot of <strong>BD</strong> Falcon IVF product is tested for embryotoxicity using<br />
the 1‑cell mouse embryo assay. Mouse embryos are isolated at<br />
the 1‑cell stage from B6C3F1 females following super ovulation<br />
with gonadotropin and mating with B6D2F1 males. <strong>BD</strong> Falcon IVF<br />
products are tested using both a direct and indirect test method. In<br />
the direct assay, the embryos are cultured directly in the IVF labware.<br />
For the indirect assay, culture media is incubated in the IVF labware<br />
for 24 hours at 37ºC. The incubated media is then transferred to<br />
a culture plate and the 1‑cell mouse embryo assay is performed.<br />
Products are deemed non‑embryotoxic if they support the growth<br />
of more than 75 percent of the embryos to the expanded and/or<br />
hatched blastocyst stage.<br />
To improve manipulation of ova and embryos, <strong>BD</strong> Biosciences<br />
designed, in conjunction with embryologists, an innovative 4‑well<br />
plate. A unique lid reduces the risk of contamination and minimizes<br />
evaporation by providing access to two wells at a time, while two<br />
remain covered. The wells are numbered and a large writing patch<br />
allows clear sample identification. Plates are packaged in individual<br />
peel‑open trays for sterile presentation.<br />
<strong>BD</strong> Falcon IVF dishes and 4‑well plates are manufactured from virgin<br />
crystalline polystyrene tested for USP Class VI cytotoxicity. They<br />
have flat, optically clear surfaces for optimum manipulation and<br />
observation of ova and embryos. Lids were designed for aseptic<br />
manipulation and consistent venting to maintain humidification.<br />
Individual certificates,<br />
containing actual test<br />
results, are available for<br />
each lot by calling your<br />
local <strong>BD</strong> office after you<br />
receive your order.<br />
