MTC Bio EmbryoGuard™ M6205 MEA Tested 5mL Centrifuge Tubes, Sterile — RNase/DNase/Pyrogen-Free

Product Description

The MTC Bio EmbryoGuard™ M6205 is a 5mL centrifuge tube that has been Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) tested — specifically designed for laboratories performing embryology, IVF research, reproductive biology, stem cell work, and other sensitive cell culture applications where material-related toxicity and biological compatibility are non-negotiable. Manufactured from high-purity plastics and tested to confirmed MEA standards, EmbryoGuard™ tubes provide assurance that the tube material itself will not introduce embryotoxic compounds or contaminants into sensitive culture workflows. Sterile, RNase-free, DNase-free, and pyrogen-free.

Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) Tested — Purpose-Built for Embryo-Sensitive Workflows The Mouse Embryo Assay is the gold standard bioassay for evaluating the biological safety of labware and materials used in assisted reproduction and embryology. EmbryoGuard™ tubes were developed to reduce the risk of material-related interference in embryo-sensitive workflows, and have been tested using established MEA standards to confirm their suitability for delicate embryology procedures. For IVF clinics, reproductive biology research labs, and embryology core facilities, MEA-tested consumables are not a preference — they are a requirement. The M6205 EmbryoGuard™ tube provides documented MEA certification for every lot, giving labs the traceability and confidence they need for their most sensitive applications.

High-Purity Plastic Construction — Minimized Risk of Material Interference Manufactured from high-purity plastics, EmbryoGuard™ tubes are well suited for demanding workflows such as IVF research, reproductive biology, embryology, stem cell work, and other sensitive cell culture applications. Standard laboratory tubes, while suitable for routine molecular biology and general cell culture, are not necessarily manufactured to the purity standards required for embryo-sensitive work. Plasticizers, mold-release agents, and residual processing compounds that have no measurable effect on standard cell lines can be severely detrimental to embryo development and viability. EmbryoGuard™ tubes are manufactured from high-purity plastics specifically selected and validated for minimal biological impact.

5mL Format — Versatile for Sample Handling and Media Preparation EmbryoGuard™ tubes are designed for reliable centrifugation, sample handling, and media preparation. The 5mL format is ideal for small-volume media preparation, reagent aliquoting, embryo culture media handling, sperm processing and preparation, density gradient centrifugation in small volumes, and any sample handling step in reproductive medicine workflows where a 5mL conical tube is the appropriate vessel. The 5mL size reduces media waste compared to 15mL tubes while maintaining sufficient volume for most IVF and embryology sample processing steps.

Sterile, RNase-Free, DNase-Free, Pyrogen-Free EmbryoGuard™ tubes are sterile and RNase-, DNase-, and pyrogen-free. Each tube meets the full set of biological safety specifications required for sensitive reproductive biology and stem cell applications — including freedom from nucleases that could degrade RNA or DNA samples, and freedom from pyrogens that could trigger inflammatory responses in sensitive biological systems.
