ivf media

Multipurpose Handling Medium

Description / Use

Buffered medium for oocyte retrieval, embryo transfer, micro-manipulation and gamete washing

Multipurpose Handling Medium Complete (MHM)

  • Available in 100ml and 500ml bottles.
  • MHM has a shelf life of 180 days from date of manufacture

Features And Benefits

    First IVF medium using a combination buffering system of HEPES and MOPS to optimize pH buffering and stability at room atmosphere:

  • Maintains pH across a broader range of temperatures.
  • Contains key amino acids, glycine and taurine, to help maintain cellular homeo stasis.
  • Formulated to promote optional cell growth by providing a safe and secure environment.

The first multipurpose dual buffering medium for use with gametes and embryos

Minimizing stress imposed upon gametes and embryos and maintaining homeostasis during in vitro manipulations are important for optimizing ART success. A key to this endeavor is the use of an appropriate handling medium utilized for cellular manipulations outside of the laboratory incubator.

MHM maintains an appropriate and stable pH during gamete and embryo manipulation at room atmosphere by employing the first combination buffering system containing safe and effective pH buffers, HEPES and MOPS By using these two proven pH buffers in specific ratios, pH buffering can be optimized for gametes and embryos and can lower amounts of each buffer utilized.
