Non Surgical Embryo Transfer Device

The NSET device revolutionises embryo transfer in pseudo-pregnant mice, making it ideal for producing transgenic or knock-out mice without surgery. The NSET device attaches to a P-2 pipette to allow for the transcervical transfer of embryos.

NSET technology is as effective as current embryo surgical procedures but requires significantly less time to master than traditional surgery. NSET

Device Uses

• Embryo transfer after DNA microinjection
• Transfer of ES cell chimeric blastocysts
• Transfer of cryopreserved embryos
• Transfer of cells after in vitro fertilisation
• Embryo transfer for rederivation

Advantages of using the NSET

• Reduces costs of embryo transfer up to 75%
• Eliminates the pain and distress of surgery
• No anaesthesia 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 and post surgical processes
• Greatly reduces time required to become proficient in embryo transfer
