Solid CO2 freezing of mouse embryos

TERATOGENIC EFFECTS OF LITHIUM CARBONATE ON DEVELOPMENT OF MOUSE EMBRYOS

Quick freezing of mouse embryos by direct plunge into liquid nitrogen vapor: effects of sugars.

Effects of various cryoprotectants on the survival of mouse embryos cryopreserved by the quick freezing method.

The effects of concentrations of glycerol, ethylene glycol or dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) in the presence of either 0.25 M lactose or sucrose on the post-thaw survival of mouse quickly-frozen compacted morulae were studied. In this method, the embryos were directly frozen in liquid nitrogen (LN2) vapor at approximately -170 degrees C for 2 min before being plunged into LN2. High survival rates of...

Which stage of mouse embryos is more appropriate for vitrification?

Objective Vitrification has been shown as one of the most effective methods of cryopreservation for mammalian embryos. However, there is no consensus which stage of embryonic development is the most appropriate for vitrification with subsequent maximal development after thawing. This study was carried out to explore and compare the effect(s) of vitrification on mouse 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, mor...
