Integra
A dedicated system for ICSI, PGD and Transgenics

| Never before has micromanipulation been so easy thanks
to RI's latest innovation - the Integra micromanipulation system. The
revolutionary Integra is incorporated entirely within the microscope stage.
The stage surface itself is larger, yet the Integra takes up a fraction
of lab space compared to other systems. This all-in-one concept reduces
vibration and has been ergonomically designed for simple and rapid operation.

| Micromanipulators
Movement of the micropipettes is provided by RI's exceptional TDU500 mechanical
micromanipulators, offering the most accurate and precise positioning
available. Each micromanipulator offers both fine and coarse xyz control
and comes with our latest range of toolholders. The TDU500's are extremely
reliable and never require routine servicing.

| Toolholders
The new PAR21 single toolholder provides the simplest and quickest system
ever for setting up ICSI micropipettes. It allows the user to make very
fine adjustments to the angle of the micropipette without the tip ever
moving out of focus, ensuring that the micropipette is slightly 'toe-down'
during sperm immobilisation and horizontal during injection. This feature
reduces the damage caused to the oocyte and therefore increases its chance
of survival and hence fertilisation.
For PGD, RI have developed a unique double toolholder which offers independent
movement of both micropipettes. |

Syringes
The Integra comes as standard with SAS Air Syringes conveniently located
next to the fine control levers of the micromanipulators. These are the
only air syringes suitable for air injection of the sperm, eliminating
the need for oil. The addition of an equilibration button allows the micropipettes
to be instantly equilibrated at any time - a very useful and unique feature.
Oil systems are available on request. |

Pipette Home Function
All RI toolholders have a special function to instantly move the micropipette
vertically by 16mm. The RI Home Function, consisting of a special objective
and spacer, allows the micropipette to be set-up 16mm above the petri-dish
and then rapidly lowered to the desired position. This system is extremely
quick and simple, and prevents micropipette damage. |
|
Stage Heating
The Integra can be supplied with three independently controlled heated
surfaces. The combination of the warm inserted stage and the heated petri-dish
holder provides the most accurate heated system available to maintain the
temperature of additional petri-dishes. |

 |
|
Stage Movement
The Integra is supplied as standard with our excellent DVS variable reduction
mechanical stage. The DVS offers both x and y positioning from a single
lever, enabling quick and precise positioning of the specimen. |
| |
| Microscopes
The Integra can be mounted on any inverted microscope. Please request
further information on microscope and optical systems.
RI provide complete solutions for micromanipulation including on-site
training if required. We also provide a comprehensive range of accessories
for ICSI and PGD including a complete range of sterile micropipettes,
packaged in our unique Twista-Pak. |
