More Information
Summary:A controlled environment system 1 for use in In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) or other biological procedures has a main chamber 2 containing one or more manipulator devices 30 and a microscopy viewing system 29 enabling viewing of the manipulation procedure. The proportions of gas in a multi gas chamber atmosphere set up in the main chamber can be varied by mixer unit 3 and the gas atmosphere in the main chamber can be heated by plate heater 4. A recirculation gas circuit enables recirculation of the chamber gas atmosphere, the recirculation gas circuit including a particulate filter arrangement 12 and a ultraviolet light sterilisation unit 11. The chamber provides a sealed atmosphere for conducting the manipulation procedure remotely from the exterior of the chamber in an environment in which the atmosphere is sealed from the external ambient atmosphere and the chamber atmosphere is re-circulated and filtered.
