Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or a practitioner trained and certified in its use. Assisted Hatchling, Embryo Biopsy and PGD are not recommended for routine use in all IVF patients. Please Note: For animal research and human stem cell applications, the XYClone® should be used. The ZILOS-tk™The ZILOS-tk still provides the highest level of flexibility, compatibility, and ease of use than any laser system available today. Features include:
Intuitive Software InterfaceThe new ZILOS-tk software is even more user-friendly and easier to learn than the previous version. You'll be up and running in no time. And with the detailed and well-organized Operator's Manual, plus the Windows Help file, answers to all questions are quickly found.

300 mW Laser Power and ONE Microsecond Pulse LengthThe ZILOS-tk features a 300 mw laser and a pulse length as low as 1 microsecond, which is far lower than typical zona ablation procedures require. The image at the below shows the size of the Isotherm Rings at a laser pulse setting of 100 microseconds (outer ring at 50°C safe zone). The orange ring shows the drill hole size.
Return to TopInstalls on Any Inverted MicroscopeSince the ZILOS-tk laser is based on the standard objective height, it easily installs on turrets of all models of inverted microscopes, even older models. Also, the unique design of the laser allows unrestricted access to other installed objectives. And you can switch the ZILOS-tk laser from one brand of microscope to another - without need of physical laser realignment or customization. Hands-free Laser FiringWhen working with micromanipulators, the ZILOS-tk 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. Return to TopEasy and Fast Zona DrillingThe Flash movie loop below shows how easy and fast it is to use the ZILOS-tk for zona drilling. (Requires Flash 6 or higher). Whether you use micromanipulators or the stage controls (see movie loop), the drilling process proceeds rapidly.

Free Your Microscope PortsThe ZILOS-tk laser leaves both the fluorescent light port and the filter cube port open for normal use (OOsught® compatible). Other laser systems use one of these ports to install their laser, which can interfere with full microscope functionality. The ZILOS-tk is the only laser system which doesn't require removal of the laser to use fluorescence. Return to TopNo Physical Laser Alignment by End-User is NeededThe ZILOS-tk laser is physically aligned under strictly controlled conditions at the factory and locked in place, so you do not have to perform tedious alignment procedures on-site. Simply align the computer generated target to the laser spot and you are ready to go! Simple InstallationSimply attach the ZILOS-tk laser-objective to the microscope turret using one of the provided adapters, tighten the lock nut and you are ready to go! Digital Color Camera - Seamless Video Transfer to Monitor!The digital camera available with both the desktop and laptop ZILOS-tk offers a seamless stream of video from camera to monitor:
Return to TopUnmatched PortabilityFor a complete laser system, including full featured software and computer, the portability of the ZILOS-tk 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 with a "ZILOS-tk To Go!"
