Sydney IVF Sperm Medium is intended for use during in vitro fertilization procedures to process sperm.
Sydney IVF Sperm Gradient Kit is intended for use during in vitro fertilization procedures to separate motile sperm from seminal plasma.
Sydney IVF Spermient is intended for use during in vitro fertilization procedures to separate motile sperm from seminal plasma.

The Sydney IVF Sperm Medium, Sydney IVF Sperm Gradient Kit and Sydney IVF Spermient are used for processing sperm during in vitro fertilization procedures.
Sperm Medium is used to provide a "liquid" and nutritious environment for the sperm to maintain its motility for the "swim up" procedures and the following fertilization process. The medium contains 10 mg/mL Human Serum Albumin (HSA) and 0.01 mg/mL Gentamicin. It is available in 20, 50 or 100 mL vials.
Sydney IVF Sperm Gradient Kit is used to separate sperm based on density, using density gradient solutions. Sperm Gradient Kit contains both 40% density solutions and is comprised of silane coated silica particles which are diluted in a HEPES buffer. The sperm gradient has the dual purpose of enriching motile sperm populations and removing sperm inhibitory compounds normally present in the eiaculate. It contains 10 mg/mL HSA and 0.01 mg/mL Gentamicin. Sydney IVF Sperm Gradient Kit is available in 20 or 50 mL vials, packaged in a carton box, consisting of one vial filled with the 40% sperm gradient solution, and a second vial filled with the 80% sperm gradient solution.
Sydney IVF Spermient is intended to separate sperm based on density, using density gradient solutions. This is achieved by diluting the Spermient into various concentrations with a HEPES buffered solution. It contains colloidal silica coated with an inert polymer (silane) and has been formulated to be isotonic. Spermient contains 10 mg/mL HSA and 0.01 mg/mL Gentamicin. It is available in 20 or 100 mL vials.
The Sydney IVF Sperm Medium, Sydney IVF Sperm Gradient Kit and Sydney IVF Spermient are provided in glass vials with Fluorotec® coated rubber stoppers held in place with a tamper evident seal.. These products are single use, sterile (aseptic filtration) devices.
