Humane alternative to surgery
clear tip
A revolutionized embryo transfer device for mice. NSET allows non-surgical embryo transfer for the production of research (transgenic or knock-out) mice. NSET is a major refinement of murine embryo transfer as it eliminates pain and stress of surgery and anesthesia.
ParaTechs Non-surgical Embryo Transfer Device revolutionizes mouse embryo transfer by reducing costs and eliminating the need for animal anesthesia and recovery normally required for conventional surgical procedures. The NSET device enables non-surgical unilateral transfer of mouse embryos into the uterine horn. It is also a novel method for effective transfer of substances for studies of uterine physiology and bacterial infection (read more). The NSET procedure is easy to learn, rapid and economical. NSET mediated embryo transfer can also replace oviduct surgery for the production of transgenic mice via microinjection.
Uses:
Embryo transfer after DNA micro-injection
Transfer of blastocysts with gene-targeted R1 ES cells
Transfer of cryo-preserved embryos
Transfer of embryos after in vitro fertilization
Embryo transfer for rederivation
Advantages:
Reduces costs of embryo transfer up to 75%
Eliminates the pain and distress of surgery
No anesthesia required
Eliminates need for post-surgical monitoring of animals
Reduces regulatory burden by eliminating need to justify survival surgery
Eliminates surgical instruments and time consuming pre/post surgical processes
Greatly reduces time required to become proficient in embryo transfer
