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 />
