Straws, daisy goblets and consumables
NP Cryo and IVF Products offers the full range of Cryo Bio Systems consumables, equipment and accessories including:
Human sperm freezing and cryopreservation straws
With their distinctive characteristics, filling and sealing methods, CBS High Security straws are designed for cryopreservation of human biological samples, guaranteeing perfect tightness, specifically in liquid nitrogen. Manufactured from biocompatible materials, they are suited to assisted reproductive technologies, and more specifically for embryo and sperm cryopreservation. The CBS High Security straw is a clear flexible tube made of ionomeric resin.
CBS 0.3 mL model This straw comprises two separate parts separated by a white plug. The first part contains semen and has a capacity of 0.3 mL. The second part accommodates the colored identification rod and is used for holding when handling liquid nitrogen.
CBS 0.5 mL model This model features the same technical specifications as the 0.3 mL straw, except that it has a capacity of 0.5 mL and the external surface of the plug is colored.
The straws are filled individually using a sterile yellow filling nozzle and a micro-aspirator or a syringe with a specific fitting.
For perfect sealing quality, SYMS or SYMS III sealers must be used on both ends, with the straws clean and dry.
For mass production applications (e.g. sperm banks), CBS High Security straws are filled and sealed with a semi-automatic machine: PACE (filling and sealing) or MAPI (filling, sealing and jacket printing).
CBS High Security straws are stored in liquid nitrogen with packaging and storage accessories from Cryo Bio System.
Visotubes and goblets
Freezing of biological samples in liquid nitrogen in straws, sorted by color codes.
CBS High Security straws are inserted in visotubes, which are housed in colored goblets prior to being stored in the cryopreservation units.
Goblets come in 8 different colors and their sub-compartments (visotubes) come in 12 different colors.
The popular 65mm daisy goblet and the smaller 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13mm are available
Canisters are cylindrical racks for keeping goblets in liquid nitrogen or nitrogen vapors. The goblet and canister storage concept is compatible with all types of nitrogen and electric freezers.
High Security embryo and sperm straw
The CBS High Security embryo and sperm straw with braided plug is specifically designed for long-term cryopreservation of human biological samples, including liquid nitrogen. Made of biocompatible materials, it is suited to Assisted Reproduction procedures, and more specifically to embryo and sperm cryopreservation.
CBS High Security embryo and sperm straws are filled with slow aspiration using a micro-aspirator according to a specific protocol. They are sealed by SYMS and SYMS III sealers, with clean and dry internal and external ends.
CBS High Security embryo and sperm straws are stored in liquid nitrogen with packaging and storage accessories from Cryo Bio System (visotubes, goblets and canisters).
