ASTEC SureGrip

ASTEC SureGrip Dishes are meticulously designed to support a range of IVF procedures, including the preparation, culture, and handling of gametes and embryos. 
Crafted in Japan from non-toxic medical-grade polystyrene, these dishes ensure the highest standards of safety and reliability. 
The high transparency of the material significantly enhances optical clarity and visibility, crucial for delicate IVF processes. These dishes feature a thoughtfully engineered design with special handles, edges, and rings that facilitate easy gripping and handling, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall workflow efficiency in the lab. 
Each lot of ASTEC SureGrip Dishes undergoes comprehensive testing, including MEA (Mouse Embryo Assay), SMA (Sperm Motility Assay), and LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) tests, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
For detailed quality assurance, Certificates of Analysis (COAs) are readily available and can be downloaded from (link for COAs).

Features of‘Suregrip’dishes

●A first-of-its-kind dish designed to be confidently and easily handled by your fingertips.
“Suregrip,” gentle protrusions on the edge of the dish lid and main body (design patent registration pending)

●With an inherent tactile feel, Suregrip allows for safer handling of the dish and lid.

●With just the right amount of grip, you can feel more secure when handling the dish.

●Suregrip engineering is also used for the 4-well dish.
We have designed a dish that is one step ahead in the pursuit of safety and convenience.
・Patent pending central slope and freezing device holder
・The corners of each well in the 4-well dish are moderately rounded to reduce the risk of losing embryos at the edge of the well.
・Displaced embryos can be easily seen due to the rounded edges.
・The bottom of each well and the tip of the freezing device are designed to be in the same focal plane under the microscope, eliminating the need for unnecessary focus adjustments and other microscope operations.
・The slope of the central cross-shaped well is optimized for thawing operations.
