Patent number: 7629113Abstract: Improved insemination systems particularly adapted to use for sex-selected sperm sorting include systems which achieve superovulation and then multiple embryo production with sexed embryos. These systems combine with other techniques, including techniques for enhanced sheath fluid and other strategies which minimize stress on the sperm cells, and, potentially, a 2.9 percent sodium citrate sheath solution for bovine species and a hepes bovine gamete media for equine species. Improved collection systems and techniques for the process are described so that commercial application of sperms samples as well as the resulting animals may be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2002Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: XY, IncInventors: George Seidel, Lisa Herickhoff, John Schenk

Patent number: 6746873Abstract: A flow cytometry system is disclosed for oscillating the exterior of a flow cytometer nozzle. Oscillating the exterior of a flow cytometer nozzle at selected oscillations or a sweeping range of oscillations disintegrates particles and gas entrapped within the flow cytometer nozzle. Adherents absorbed to the exterior of the flow cytometer nozzle may also be removed. An energy source (1) serves to generate a selected oscillation or range of oscillations. The energy source (1) is connected to a flexible transfer element (2) which conducts the electrical signals to an oscillation system (3). The oscillation system (3) turns the electrical energy from the energy source (1) into mechanical oscillations and is connected to a portable device (4) which disintegrates particles, dislocates gas within the flow cytometer nozzle and cleans the exterior of the flow cytometer aperture.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2000Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignees: XY, Inc., DakoCytomation Colorado, Inc., Colorado State University Research FoundationInventors: Kristopher S. Buchanan, Lisa Herickhoff, George Seidel, George C. Malachowski, Matthias J. G. Ottenberg, Douglas H. Ferguson
