An apparatus for micromanipulation of biological material, includes a vessel () having a reservoir () wherein the vessel has a channel () formed in a portion of the reservoir, the channel including an intermediate restriction () dimensioned to resist passage of the biological material but allow passage of liquid treatment solutions.

Micromanipulation and storage apparatus and methods

A method of cryopreservation of biological material includes the steps of providing an apparatus including a vessel having a reservoir wherein the vessel has a channel formed in a portion of the reservoir, the channel including an intermediate restriction dimensioned to resist passage of the biological material but allow passage of liquid treatment solutions, and the channel including sub-reservoirs at either end of the restriction; introducing the biological material into a reservoir region of the apparatus for capture in a channel region of the vessel; irrigating and draining the biological material with a series of vitrification solutions introduced into a first of the sub-reservoirs and removed from a second of the sub-reservoirs; final draining the irrigation solutions from the vessel; and vitrifying the vessel and captive biological material.

A tissue embedder comprising a transport mechanism for an input member, the input member adapted to hold a plurality of tissue supports, with each tissue support associated with a mould, a wax bath and a cooling station wherein the transport mechanism moves the input member from a wax bath to a cooling station.

Device and method for tissue handling and embedding

The present invention relates to a method of enriching fetal nuclei from a sample. Enriched fetal nuclei can be used in a variety of procedures including, detection of a trait of interest such as a disease trait, or a genetic predisposition thereto, gender typing and parentage testing.

Methods for obtaining fetal genetic material

A sampling device adapted for transcervical sampling of biological materials from a pregnant patient comprising: an elongate insertion tube () having a first end () adapted for insertion through the external orifice (external os) of said patient's cervix and a second end () including a handle means () for manipulating said tube; a measuring means for determining the position of said first end of said tube within said cervix, wherein said first end () includes a sampling head () adapted to collect biological material including cells, mucus and biological fluids, and wherein said measuring means is adapted to determine the extent of insertion and transcervical position of said first end to optimize the transcervical sampling site.
