Micro Pipettes for Micromanipulation
Our micropipettes are designed and produced by embryologists in cleanroom conditions from ultrasonic washed high grade borosilicate glass with a strict quality control management system.
Optimas is the manufacturer of precision borosilicate micropipettes including ICSI, holding, biopsy, TESE, AHA, PZD pipettes, and IVF pasteur pipettes for use in ART/IVF procedures.

Quality
Co-Founders of Optimas are senior embryologists experienced in the field for more than decades and thus the company takes the advantage of being both the manufacturer and the consumer of the products, which appears to be the best route of a beneficial feed-back. Therefore, end products may be interpreted from the viewpoint of the consumers.
Quality checked one by one, gamma sterilized, tested by MEA and LAL.
Supplied in packs of 10 individually wrapped packets with an easy to open case and easy pipette retrieval design.
Injection
Optimally parallel design and elbow-to-tip length enable a precise intraluminal fluid
control. This feature allows for better sample control, For injection pipettes this is especially true for sperm injection control, and makes carriage of multiple sperms at a time possible. The ideally flexible tip design provides an effective immobilization of the sperm, without adherence of the sperm tail to the surface of the dish.
Optimally designed sharp tip enables easy penetration into zona pellucida and a gentle entrance into the cytoplasm.
Holding
Holding pipettes are used for the stabilization of the oocytes during intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and the embryos during embryo biopsy procedure. Optimal tip length and design, and inner diameter size enable a precise aspiration control. Holding micropipettes are provided in two different sizes in order to meet your varying micromanipulation requirements.
Biopsy
Biopsy pipettes are used for the biopsy of polar bodies from oocytes, blastomeres from cleavage stage embryos and trophectoderm cells from blastocysts, for purposes of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. The smoothed tip prevents damage to the cells, and the optimally narrowed elbow-to-tip design enables a precisely sensitive aspiration control. Biopsy micropipettes are provided in different inner diameters in order to meet your varying micromanipulation requirements.
TESE
TESE pipettes are used for sperm collection from TESE material, round spermatid injection (ROSI) and elongated spermatid injection (ELSI) during ICSI procedures. With its optimally parallel design and elbow-to-tip length, it enables a better sperm injection control and makes carriage of multiple sperms at a time possible. Optimally designed sharp tip enables easy penetration into zona pellucida and a gentle entrance into the cytoplasm. Different TESE pipette types with varying inner diameters, tip types and elbow angles are provided for different requirements.
PZD
PZD pipettes are used for the mechanical, partial dissection of zona pellucida during assisted hatching procedure and/or prior to biopsy procedures from oocytes, cleavage stage embryos and blastocysts. The rapidly thickening structure from tip to elbow and the sharp closed-tip design enable an easy punching on zona pellucida with an ideal size.
