INVITROCARE, INCORPORATED 2003 SPERM WASH MEDIUM

SPERM WASH MEDIUM is a synthetic, defined culture medium supplemented with 5mg/ml human serum albumin and is intended for use in assisted reproductive technology procedures. It has been formulated to mimic the composition of the fluid found in fallopian tubes as defined by Quinn etal (Quinn P, Kerin JF, Warnes GM: Fertil Steril 1985;44:493-498). SPERM WASH MEDIUM uses a combined sodium bicarbonate/HEPES ([4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid]) buffering system and is appropriate for those procedures that do not use a carbon dioxide atmosphere.
