GeneSearch Inc. has developed the GeneSearch Embryo Cradle, a cutting-edge tool designed for embryo manipulation that significantly enhances the capabilities of embryo handling in reproductive science. This innovative device utilizes a patented suck-and-puncture method, allowing for sophisticated procedures without the need for extensive infrastructure or additional setup. The Embryo Cradle can perform procedures on embryos at all stages up to implantation, enabling precise manipulation without compressing the embryo, which is crucial for maintaining its integrity. The tool combines holding and injection pipettes into a single, user-friendly device, making it versatile for various applications, including biopsy and genetic analysis.

The technology behind the Embryo Cradle represents a paradigm shift in embryo manipulation, particularly for later-stage embryos that have escaped their protective zona. Traditional methods of embryo penetration often rely on compressing the embryo, which is ineffective for expanded blastocysts. The GeneSearch system allows for gentle holding and puncturing of these embryos, facilitating more reliable DNA analysis for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Additionally, the Cradle can efficiently remove blastocoel fluid, optimizing the freezing process for embryos, which is particularly beneficial for equine and llama embryology. This advancement not only improves the success rates of embryo freezing but also opens new avenues for genetic testing and analysis in reproductive technologies.
