An Invaluable Tool for the Researcher
Reliably, quickly, and cleanly opens the zona for stem cell excision from blastocysts, nuclear transfer, and ICSI. Also, since no mercury is required, the entire process is safer, for both you and the embryo.

Choice of Objective Magnification
The XYClone module is available with either the original 40x objective, or a 20x objective. Systems can even be configured to use both!

Plug & Play
Simply turn on the XYClone and you are ready to go! No warm-up time is needed.

Save Money on Supplies!
Unlike piezo drills, the XYClone is "non-contact" and requires no special needles or pipettes. So not only can you achieve your results quickly and reliably, but you also save money.

Hands-free Laser Firing
When working with micromanipulators, the XYClone allows you to work in "hands-free" mode by using the optional foot switch to fire the laser. Simply use the manipulators to position the embryo to the target and press the foot switch to fire the laser. Your micromanipulation proceeds rapidly and the time the embryo spends on the microscope stage is minimized. Also, the laser may be fired as many times as required to complete the process, without need of reactivating the laser.

Easy, Fast, Non-Disruptive Zona and Oolemma Ablation
The laser simply removes the targeted material. There is no effect on the immediately surrounding areas.

Frees Your Microscope Ports - Does Not Interfere with Fluorescence
The extremely compact laser unit (just 42mm x 28mm x 54mm) installs directly on turret, leaving both the fluorescence and filter cube ports free for normal use (no removal of components required), and no interference with normal microscope usage.

Unmatched Portability
For a complete laser system, including software and computer, the portability of a XYClone laptop configuration can't be beat. All laser components fit into a custom designed carry case, which offers both protection and easy transport. Combine this with a laptop unit and a small digital camera, and you can literally walk out the door the with a "XYClone To Go!"

Hassle Free Microscope Upgrade or Changeover!!!
The exact same laser configuration installs on ALL brand/model of inverted microscope, including older models. The XYClone (and ZILOS-tk) are the ONLY complete laser systems available that can be switched from any brand/model of microscope to any other brand/model of microscope, without need for customization, laser realignment, and possibly even added cost. This means that if you buy any different brand/model microscope in the future, the XYClone can still be used with no changes needed!
