Rigorously tested, high-quality oils for a broad set of preferences

Closed culture under an oil overlay has been successfully applied in embryology to protect embryos since the 1960s1.

An oil overlay stabilizes pH, temperature, osmolality and prevents evaporation and is critical to success in the lab.

We have developed a broad range of market leading IVF oils to suit most preferences.

LifeGlobal Oils
Designed and tested for IVF, available in high, medium and low viscosity. Pre-washed with water.

Oil for Tissue Culture by SAGE
A high-quality, pharmaceutical-grade, mineral oil used in IVF and ICSI procedures for many years

Liquid Paraffin by ORIGIO
 A high-quality paraffin oil, pre-washed with HSA medium.

Market leading quality testing

When designing a closed culture system, oil quality is of fundamental importance and that is why we use a unique testing system called Atomic Fingerprinting for rigorous quality control. We are the only supplier to test oil products using this method.

Optimize your embryo culture system

The type of IVF oil used is just one factor out of many that can help determine the success of embryo culture.

Find out more about the factors affecting embryo culture including the influence of oil overlays, control of pH, dish preparation, and how these can be optimized in the clinical IVF laboratory by watching our webinar.
