Identification of bovine embryos cultured in groups by attachment of barcodes to the zona pellucida (2014)
Journal Article
Novo, S., Morató, R., Penon, O., Duran, S., Barrios, L., Nogués, C., …Ibáñez, E. (2014). Identification of bovine embryos cultured in groups by attachment of barcodes to the zona pellucida. Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 26(5), 645-652. https://doi.org/10.1071/RD13066

The low number of oocytes collected from unstimulated donors by ovum pick-up means that embryos produced from each individual female have to be cultured individually or in very small groups. However, it has been demonstrated that single-embryo cultur... Read More about Identification of bovine embryos cultured in groups by attachment of barcodes to the zona pellucida.

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles based on imidazolium gemini amphiphiles incorporating piroxicam (2014)
