| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We produced PDMS micro-wells connected with narrow canals. Bovine oocytes were introduced into the wells and medium was changed through the canals, but oocytes were trapped into the canals. Therefore, we developed simple bovine IVP systems. Bovine oocytes were introduced into test tubes filled with maturation medium. The oocytes were matured then only medium was changed by small pipets with IVF medium. The oocytes were fertilized, then medium was then changed with development medium. The IVF oocytes were cultured for 168 hours.The blastocyst rates were the same with the control method. We also examine the cleavage timing of bovine IVF oocytes with small TLC device which we originally produced. We can predict blastocyst development by examining the cleavage timing.
