PorciWash™ is a medium for washing the sperm pellet after density gradient separation. It minimises sudden pH and osmotic changes during the transition from semen sample to fertilisation medium. It also maximises the yield of motile sperm and improves the fertilisation potential.

A material safety data sheet is available from the manufacturer or distributor.
Other Porcine Products Other products in the porcine series include the PorciPure™ Top and Bottom Layer. This is density gradient system for purification of porcine sperm through centrifugation. PorciExtend™ is a medium used for extending porcine sperm prior to purification through a density gradient.
