MTC Bio EmbryoGuard™ M6212 MEA Tested 14mL Centrifuge Tubes, Sterile — RNase/DNase/Pyrogen-Free

Product Description

The MTC Bio EmbryoGuard™ M6212 is a 14mL 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 critical. Manufactured from high-purity plastics and tested to established MEA standards, EmbryoGuard™ tubes provide documented assurance that the tube material itself will not introduce embryotoxic compounds or contaminants into sensitive reproductive biology workflows. Sterile, RNase-free, DNase-free, and pyrogen-free.

Mouse Embryo Assay (MEA) Tested — The Gold Standard for Embryo-Safe Labware The Mouse Embryo Assay is the established bioassay for evaluating the biological safety of plasticware 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 a fundamental requirement — not a preference. The M6212 provides documented MEA certification for every lot, giving labs the traceability and confidence needed for their most sensitive applications.

High-Purity Plastic Construction — Minimized Embryotoxicity Risk Standard laboratory centrifuge tubes, while appropriate 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 impact 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 — providing a meaningful safety margin for the most delicate reproductive biology workflows.

14mL Format — Ideal for Culture, Transport, and Mid-Volume Processing The 14mL format fills an important gap between the 5mL (M6205) and 15mL (M6215) formats in the EmbryoGuard™ line. It is well suited for culture and transport applications, mid-volume density gradient centrifugation, sperm preparation procedures requiring slightly larger volumes than a 5mL tube can accommodate, media preparation and aliquoting, and sample handling steps in IVF and reproductive biology workflows where the standard 15mL conical tube would result in unnecessary volume overhead. Designed for reliable centrifugation, sample handling, and media preparation throughout the reproductive medicine workflow.

Sterile, RNase-Free, DNase-Free, Pyrogen-Free Each EmbryoGuard™ M6212 tube meets the full set of biological safety specifications required for sensitive reproductive biology and stem cell applications — free from nucleases that could degrade nucleic acid samples and free from pyrogens that could trigger inflammatory responses in sensitive biological systems. Sterility is confirmed for every production lot.
