The present application relates to the manipulation and handling of biological materials and, in one form, provides an apparatus for micromanipulation of biological material, including a channel for accommodating biological material and allowing for passage of liquid treatment solutions. The apparatus may include a two part construction wherein two portions of the apparatus are adapted to be heat sealed with a secondary material intermediate the two portions prior to a vitrification process step. A system for vitrification of a biological specimen is also provided including a software operable means for controlling the temperature environment, a software operable means for controlling fluid dispense volume and velocity and aspiration volume and velocity for the application of liquid treatment solutions to the biological specimen, and a software operable means for controlling protocol time.
Apparatus for micromanipulation of biological material, said apparatus comprising a vessel having a reservoir wherein said vessel has a channel formed in a portion of said reservoir, said channel comprising an intermediate restriction dimensioned to resist passage of said biological material but allow passage of liquid treatment solutions wherein the channel comprises walls of a thickness in the range of about 0.01 mm to about 0.90 mm.
Apparatus for micromanipulation of biological material, said apparatus comprising a channel for accommodating said biological material and allowing passage of liquid treatment solutions, the apparatus comprising a two part construction and wherein two portions of the apparatus are adapted to be heat sealed with a secondary material intermediate the two portions prior to a vitrification process step.
A system for vitrification of a biological specimen comprising one or a combination of:
