Purpose

For the immobilisation and isolation of sperm prior to intracytoplasmic sperm injection, ICSI.

Application

For use after pre-equilibration at +20 ± 5ºC and ambient atmosphere.

Recombinant albumin for safety

Use G-RINSE to test and rinse oocyte retrieval needles, wash the cervix prior to retrieval and transfer and for rinsing of contact materials. G-RINSE contains gentamicin, salts and a carbohydrate with the same osmolality as the other G-Series™ media. Rinsing with G-RINSE ensures that no dilution affects your culture.

From scientific breakthrough to standard procedure

In 1992 science brought hope to thousands of childless couples when the first pregnancies generated by ICSI were reported. This meant that male infertility factor was less of an obstacle to starting a family.

At its introduction in the early 1990s, fertilisation rates after ICSI were around 30%.1 Thanks to further modifications of the procedure, fertilisation rates of over 80% are now possible and ICSI is now used as the method for fertilisation in around 65% of all treatment cycles globally.
