At the end of each year, we traditionally look back and take stock. It is not only the facts and figures that determine how we judge the success of the fiscal year. Rather, it is personal experiences, encounters, or projects that were successfully continu

The end of this busy congress year was marked by two congress highlights. At the end of October, we celebrated our premiere at the ASRM Scientific Congress and Expo in Anaheim, California.

The MultiCoder was specially developed for direct printing on containers in IVF, cryopreservation, or research laboratories. Its advantages lie in the optimum legibility of the labeling, secure data transmission and efficient, time-saving operation. Durin

The 13th Alpha Biennial Conference for Scientists in Reproductive Medicine once more kept its promise to be a most enjoyable and highly educational experience.

For many patients, cryopreserved ovarian or testicular tissue represents the last fertility reserve. Consequently, safe storage of such samples is of utmost importance. Cryovials with screw caps and a volume of 1.8 to 2.0 ml are common for cryopreservatio

Around 8,500 participants and 180 exhibitors braved the Milan heat and gathered for the ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) 38th Annual Meeting from July 3-6.

Like previous versions, the sixth edition of the "WHO laboratory manual for the examination and processing of human semen" emphasizes the temperature dependence of sperm motility. Different from the past, the conclusion is much clearer now: for obtaining

Terms like "sustainability" and "energy saving" currently dominate public discussion. A paradigm change and the broad introduction of techniques to generate "green energy" seem more urgent than ever.

Minitube recently launched the MultiCoder, a semi-automatic labeling device for culture dishes, centrifuge tubes, straws, and many other types of laboratory items. Direct printing on the container surface revolutionizes the labeling process in laboratorie

From April 1-3, about 180 participants, mainly embryologists, followed the invitation of the German Society of Human Reproductive Biology (AGRBM) and the Austrian Embryologists´ Forum (EFA) to meet in Salzburg, Austria.

End of March Paul Gassner, Head of Human Division and Tammo Buss, Product Manager at Minitube hosted a practice-oriented webinar featuring the MultiCoder, a robust printer, which was specifically designed for rapid labeling of almost every shape and size

Oocytes and embryos should continuously be kept at 37°C when being handled outside the incubator, and optimum sperm analysis is always performed at a defined temperature. The Minitube control units of the HT and SC series made this possible for decades.

Despite its size, Minitube is a family business where personal relationships are very important. Let us introduce you to the Managing Director, Dr. Christian Simmet, in an interview.

Today, it is standard to close straws for cryopreservation of gametes or embryos with an electric sealer. The heat required to seal a straw is either generated directly by heated sealing jaws, or indirectly through ultrasonic waves. Ultrasound causes the

After a short break, Minitube is now offering the well-proven 5-well dish again. Our culture dish is made in Germany from high-quality raw materials. After production, each batch undergoes a strict validation process consisting of several steps (mouse emb

Reliable sample identification in the IVF, andrology or cryopreservation lab is based on clear, legible labeling of all containers used to culture or store gametes and embryos. Until now, the ideal technology for this has been lacking. Hand labeling is st

Everyone wants their cryostorage system for straws or vitrification carriers to be as clear and efficient as possible. The "secondary packaging", i.e., the container that immediately surrounds the straws, plays a central role regarding sample safety, and

The products are known to almost everyone: For decades, our heating systems have been inconspicuously and indestructibly working in numerous IVF laboratories and many of you are using our straws, cassettes, or human sperm packaging sets for cryopreservati
