C ATA LOGU E
Key areas of strategic focus for Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. include: effective
therapies for bladder cancer and potentially other cancers; a cattle vaccine to
prevent E. coli O157:H7 infection in humans through contaminated food
or water; and technologies to potentially replace antibiotics and improve
reproduction in livestock. In 2007, Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. was recognized
as one of the Top 10 Life Sciences companies in Canada.
Bioniche Animal Health brought Folltropin-V, a follicle-stimulating hormone
(FSH), to the market in order to provide a high quality and consistent FSH
product for Embryo Transfer (ET) practitioners. Today, Bioniche is still
committed to continued research in the area of livestock reproduction and
embryo transfer. Areas of research include endometritis, mastitis, non-animal
origin media, semen extenders, bovine embryo vitriﬁcation, and improved
synchronization protocols.
Bioniche Animal Health is pleased to have a strong relationship with universities
and professional organizations and to sponsor wetlabs and embryo transfer courses
around the globe. The Company has several expert consultants who are available
to answer technical questions and offer advice.
In this, the 2008-2009 edition of the Bioniche Animal Health Embryo Collection

R e a g e nt Q u a l i t y
ViGRO™ media are designed speciﬁcally for the exacting needs
of embryo transfer in both commercial and research applications.
These media are unique because they embrace modern cell culture
technology, making the entire range complete and ready to use.
The process begins with puriﬁed, certiﬁed chemicals. Particular
attention is paid to heavy metal contamination and endotoxin
levels. Protein ingredients originate from animals that were
inspected both pre-and post-mortem and are free of List A
diseases and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs),
including bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), in
accordance with OIE guidelines.
Production is carried out in FDA-registered and inspected clean
rooms where all media batches must pass a series of quality control
tests before being transferred to inventory for sale. Furthermore, the
ultra ﬁltering process used during manufacturing ensures that no
additional ﬁltering is required before use.
Recommended storage of ViGRO™ media is between 2–8oC
(except where noted).
All of these features have made ViGRO™ a benchmark for embryo
transfer solutions throughout the world.
Wa t e r Q u a l i t y
Water puriﬁcation starts with a pre-conditioning system involving
sodium ion exchange for divalent and multivalent ions, followed
by 5 μm ﬁltration and activated carbon absorption to remove
chlorine, particulate matter, and other organic compounds.
The pre-conditioned water then travels to a reverse osmosis (RO)
unit where 98% of remaining ions, microbial impurities, and most
of the remaining organics are removed. Storage of ultra-pure
water in glassware and non-polyethylene containers may result in
increased levels of heavy metals and/or total organic carbons within
only a few days’ time. Therefore, our RO water is stored in rigid
polyethylene reservoirs that will not leach impurities.
After passing though a second activated carbon absorption ﬁlter
to insure removal of organics and chlorine, the water passes
through a macroreticular resin to remove colloids, then passes
through a two-bed cation and anion resin which removes the
majority of ionic components. Finally, it passes through an ultrapure mixed-bed cartridge, which removes all remaining ions,
yielding up to 18.3 mega-ohm water, which is essentially free
of ionic contaminants.
Any remaining organics are removed by using a high-efﬁciency
synthetic carbon ﬁlter. A ﬁnal 0.2 μm cross-ﬂow ﬁlter is
incorporated in the dispenser for even greater assurance of
freedom from contamination.
Laborator y Procedure
The media production facility is a positive pressure, HEPA-ﬁltered
clean room equipped with Class 100 isolation areas. It is in these
Class 100 isolation areas where media that has been serially
ﬁltered is packaged.
Certiﬁcates of analysis are available for each batch of
ViGRO™ media.
Pa c k a g i n g
Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), utilized in our media packaging,
is superior to traditional plastic ﬁlm because it is manufactured
speciﬁcally for packaging pharmaceutical products. EVA has an
ultra low level of extractibles and contains no plasticizers. The full
transparency of EVA is a major advantage for visual inspection of
both the solution and the empty bag.
The 8 mL tubes are made from low density polyethylene (LDPE)
and have been extensively tested with bovine embryos at Colorado
State University. These tubes are non-toxic, and media stored in
them maintains its integrity throughout the recommended shelf life.

SYNGRO® Holding
SYNGRO® Holding is the ﬁrst product in a new,
complete system of non-refrigerated, non-animal
origin based media designed for the embryo transfer
specialist. The product contains hyaluronan, a
linear polysaccharide of alternating D-glucaronic
acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Embryos have
been shown to have surface receptors for hyaluronan,
which is involved in the regulation of gene
expression, cell proliferation and cell differentiation.
Hyaluronan has been used very successfully as a
replacement for serum or serum-based products in a
number of embryo culture and freezing studies.
Practical Beneﬁts with Every Use
• Eliminates concerns regarding
animal-based formulas.
• Eliminates costly air shipments of
refrigerated media.
• Eliminates the ‘down-time’, waiting for media
to warm to room temperature with each use.
• Eliminates wastage of ‘re-warmed’ refrigerated
Holding; store extra SYNGRO® medium at
room temperature.
• Eliminates need to change current
procedures—just substitute for any holding
medium now used.
Recommended use: Embryos should be recovered
from the ﬂushing solution and transferred to a
covered Petri dish containing SYNGRO® Holding.
Embryos can be held at room temperature for
up to 9 hours or up to 20 hours at 4°C. Embryos
can be transferred using a straw containing
SYNGRO® Holding.
Recommended storage: 2–30°C.
DOES NOT REQUIRE REFRIGERATION.

ViGRO Ethylene Glycol Freeze Plus (with or without sucrose)
The success and convenience of freezing embryos
in ethylene glycol for direct transfer brought about
a dramatic change in the ET industry. Because
ethylene glycol moves across cell membranes more
readily than glycerol, embryos can be transferred
directly into recipients after thawing, without
removing the embryo from the straw, eliminating
time-consuming rehydration steps.

ViGRO Splitting Plus
Embryo splitting is the most effective and rapid
method of increasing the number of offspring in
an ET program. This medium is designed for safe
and rapid splitting or biopsy without the need
for a holding pipette. It contains no protein and,
consequently, allows proteins in the zona pellucida
to form an electrostatic attraction to the bottom
of the tissue culture dish. This holds the embryo
in place during the splitting procedure. Used
in conjunction with Bioniche Animal Health’s
Twinner System.
• Packaged in EVA pouches with a needle
septum port.

provided sterile technique is used.

ViGRO Retrieval Supplement PF
This is a protein-free (PF) solution which provides
the “non-stick” characteristics of serum or BSA
without the viral, antibody or DNA contamination
problems that are associated with the use of animalderived products. Following bisection or biopsy, a
few microliters of this supplement neutralize the
electrostatic attraction of the culture dish. This
allows for easy recovery of demi-embryos or the riskfree transfer of biopsies to ampliﬁcation capillaries.
Contaminating DNA can produce false positives
when using PCR diagnostic testing and this
supplement eliminates the possibility of introducing
bovine DNA, which is often found in FCS or BSA.
• Packaged in EVA pouches with a needles
septum port.
Rinsing Solution is the same formula as Complete
