  • Device for in vitro culture of embryos and fabrication method thereof
    Patent number: 11130940
    Abstract: A device for in vitro culture of embryos includes: an array having at least one well formed therein; and a bottom surface formed in the well and made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The use of the culture vessel having the well bottom surface made of PDMS has the effect of further increasing the blastocyst formation rate of embryos compared to the use of conventional arrays made of plastic.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 28, 2021
    Assignee: Kangwon National University University-Industry Cooperation Foundation
    Inventors: Seung Tae Lee, Jung Im Yun, Song Baek
  • Microchip mimicking female reproductive organs and method for fabricating the same
    Patent number: 10897890
    Abstract: A microchip includes a first chamber and second chamber formed to a predetermined depth in a member made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); and a channel (microchannel) connecting the first chamber to the second chamber. These components mimic in vivo organs which produce by selecting capacitated motile sperm from semen and causing the selected sperm to meet mature oocyte, and these components are capable of effectively producing motile capacitated good-quality sperms from sperms ejaculated outside the body.
