Bioengineering

A microchip-based system for domestic animal breeding was designed and constructed. The microchip has a culture chamber and microchannels for medium supply. By using the system, porcine and mouse embryos were successfully fertilized and developed to the blastocyst stage. © 2006 Society for Chemistry and Micro-Nano Systems.
