Sil-Select Plus
Sperm preparation media
Sil-Select Plus is our home made new, improved and ready-to-use gradient system for semen preparation. The following gradients are available:
– Sil-Select Plus Upper layer (45%)
– Sil-Select Plus 80%
– Sil-Select Plus Lower layer (90%)
Sil-Select Plus gradients consist of silane-coated colloidal sicila particles suspended in HEPES-buffered Earle’s balanced salts solution, and as from batch FP18SIP20 supplemented with 0.4 – 2.2g/l human serum albumin.
Extensive testing during the design of the product has shown it to be non-cytotoxic and non-irritant with a non-significant allergenic potential.
Sil-Select Plus is produced from raw colloidal silica, so we have full control over each step in the production process. We have developed a very accurate purification system which results in a very clean product with endotoxin levels below 0.5EU/mL.
The Sil-Select Plus density gradient system (45%-90%) consists of a Sil-Select Plus Upper Layer (45%) and a Sil-Select Plus Lower Layer (90%).
We also offer Sil-Select Plus in an 80% dilution for use in IVF procedures.
Information about the composition of the products can be found in the material safety data sheet.
