Introduction
The Labculture IVF workstation is specially designed for use in fertilitylaboratoriesforresearchworkinthefieldsofhumanandanimalreproduction.Acontrolledworkenvironmentisofhighpriority due to the complexity of the process. This includes hygienic conditions to minimise microbial contamination, a warmed work surface for the sustenance of biological matter and provisions for the use of microscopes.
In the Labculture IVF workstation, air is taken in from above the workstationandpassedthroughanULPAfilter.Thefilteredairis then passed through the main chamber in a vertical laminar (unidirectional)airstreambeforebeingexhaustedthroughthefront opening.

Heating Options
AwarmedworksurfaceisnecessarytopreventthermalshockduringIVF/ART(AssistedReproductiveTechnique)proceduresforhuman and animal reproduction. Esco IVF Workstation meets the requirement by having the warmed work top maintaining at the optimaltemperature(37˚C±0.4˚C/32.7˚F).Worktoptemperatureis constantly being displayed on the front panel.
Beneaththestainlesssteelworktop,thereisanintegratedheatingsystem which maintain the temperature of the work surface at 37˚C(98.6˚F).Customizedwarmingpatternsisalsoavailableto suit the workspace of the operator so as to ensure greatest efficiency.
Microscope
Oocytepick-up,embryohandlingandmicromanipulation require various types of microscopes. Most common models of stereo zoom microscopes, transmitted light sources and inverted microscopes can be integrated into Esco IVF Workstations.
Differenttypesofmicroscopesusedforvarious IVF applications:• Uprightmicroscope-spermvitalitytests
and ova collections.• Invertedmicroscope-usewithmicro-
manipulatorforprocessessuchasIXCI,IMSI.
• Stereomicroscope - ova selection,pre-treatmentofovabymeansofIVFtechniques and for manipulation.
Esco supplies all common microscope brandsandmodels.However,microscopesalready in use and microscopes purchased separately can be installed onto Esco IVF Workstations.
If you have an existing microscope or preferred model, please contact Esco and provide us with details.

4.Forallmicroscopes,OPTIONALclearglass heated light stage* is available, which ensures more accurate and reliable thermal control of specimens dur ing observat ion under the microscope
5.Verificationofergonomicstoensureease of access to the microscope eye pieces at the front of the workstation
6.Completefactory testingtoensureworkstation airflows and product protection are not compromised
* Warming Blocks must not be used on the heated glass stage. This will damage the heated glass stage.

Supply ULPA Filter
Vertical Laminar Flow of Clean Air
Room air is taken from the top of the cabinet through a disposable pre-filter with 85% arrestance, trapping larger particles and prolonging the life of the main filter.
Air is forced evenly through a ULPA filter resulting in a stream of clean, vertical, laminar air within the main chamber with a velocity of 0.475 m/s (95 fpm), flushing all contaminants from the work zone.
The purified air travels across the work zone in a vertical (unidirectional) stream and is exhausted through the entire open front of the cabinet and through Auto-Purge slots in the back wall. The Auto-Purge slots are designed to eliminate air turbulence and dead-air corners in the work zone. In addition, the Auto-Purge Slots prolong the filter life.
