During preparation of sperm from a semen sample using a density gradient separation, ProInsert facilitates gradient preparation and pellet retrieval, reduces the risk of recontamination during retrieval of sperm pellet, and reduces the time for completing a density gradient preparation of a semen sample, including sperm retrieval, by almost half. Recommended for use with Nidacon products. See comparison table in leaflet for time savings.

Technical description

  • The outer chamber of the ProInsert is used for the preparation of the density gradient.
  • The central channel is only used for retrieving the sperm pellet using the pipette supplied, and should never come in contact with the semen sample
Features
  • Easy to use.
  • Supplied with optimized tubes and pipettes.
  • Designed for use with PureSperm products.
  • Well documented safety benefits.
  • Gamma sterilized and mouse embryo tested (MEA).

FAQ
I have a very viscous sample; will it go through the ProInsert?

It will, but you can improve the outcome by treating your viscous sample with PureSperm Buffer before use. Dilute your sample with PureSperm Buffer 1+3 incubate in 37°C for 15-30 minutes, mix and it’s ready for the density gradient preparation. You can find more information on our website.

Can I start the centrifugation even if it takes a long time for the samples to get into the tube and even more longer for viscous samples to get through the insert?

– Centrifugation can be started before all the sample has gone through the hole.
