Datasets may be exported to PDF-files for e-mail forwarding and to RTF-files or to CSV-files for further text or spreadsheet program processing, respectively.

  • Page 18: Manipulation Of The Zona Pellucida Using Lasershot M / Navilase

    Manipulation of the Zona Pellucida using LaserShot M / NaviLase The laser beam generated by the LaserShot M / NaviLase causes a tangential thinning or opening of the zona pellucida of oocytes and embryos by a highly localized photo thermal process which lyses the glycoprotein matrix.

  • Page 19: Application Notes For Lasershot M And Navilase

    Application notes for LaserShot M and NaviLase Assisted hatching (AH) The aim of AH is to locally weaken the zona pellucida by creating a trench along the optical axis of the laser beam (see. Fig. 1, p.17) which appears as a hole when seen through an inverted microscope.
  • Page 20 Blastomere biopsy (cleavage stage) The aim of cleavage stage biopsy is to retrieve 1 or 2 blastomeres from a day three embryo for genetic analysis. A pulse time should be selected to create an opening of about 20 μm. The embryo should be rotated and blastomere(s) selected for biopsy should be positioned using a holding capillary.
  • Page 21 If cells are to be biopsied from cryopreserved blastocysts, laser application should be performed after thawing, as soon as the ICM can be located and before the blastocyst has fully re-expanded. A hole of 15-20 μm should be created opposite from the ICM. Thawed blastocysts will have TE cells herniating out of the zona pellucida after 2 to 3 hours of re-expansion.

  • Page 62: Relationship Between Irradiation Time And Opening Size

    Relationship between irradiation time and opening size According to the drilling strategy, a single laser pulse must generate a hole of appropriate size. The relationship between laser irradiation time and opening size is influenced by various factors such as the type of microscope, the kind of heated microscope stage (glass or metal), the type of heating system, the temperature, the culture dish, the culture medium, and finally the thickness, type and hardness of the zona pellucida.

  • Page 64 Vertical (Z)-Positioning Using a holding pipette to ensure the positioning of the embryo during laser treatment can be an advantage, but also introduces an additional parameter that needs the user’s attention. For optimal results, the vertical (Z)-position of the holding pipette should always be as such, that the cell remains near the bottom of the culture dish during laser drilling.

  • Page 65: Variation Of The Laser Drilling Position And Strength

    Variation of the Laser Drilling Position and Strength After strong displacement of the whole electro-optical system, e.g. a mechanical shock, the quality of the drilled hole has to be checked when using the parameters which had been adjusted previously (irradiation time and aiming of the laser). The laser drilled holes and openings will be of good quality if the laser impact is located near the center of the live video image on the monitor.
