Abstract: A controlled environment observation device comprising: a body; a heated shelf located in the body; a plurality of shelf openings in the heated shelf; a plurality of embryonic chambers removably installed in the plurality of shelf openings, each of the plurality of embryonic chambers comprising: an optically transparent heated shelf; a specimen dish removably attached to the top of the optically transparent heated shelf, the specimen dish having a generally optically transparent bottom; an x,y,z camera system located in each of the embryonic chambers and below the specimen dish and the optically transparent heated shelf; a computer located in the controlled environment observation device; and a controller in signal communication with the xyz camera system and the computer.

Abstract: An oocyte and embryo-positioning apparatus enables a plurality of oocytes, embryos or other cell specimens to be held and positioned for injection therein of fluid molecular reagents such as DNA, RNA, protein, cells, spermatozoa and cells; and removal of cells, fragments of cells, cytoplasm, nuclei and cellular organelles. The oocytes and embryos are kept separate from each other in open marked or unmarked well-compartments that are located in the culture container. Each well-compartment comprises one or more finger like structures that can position one oocyte or one embryo. The lanes between the digits of the fingers may be sloped allowing the oocytes or embryo to position at the narrowest and lowest point of the compartment. The method and oocytes and embryo-positioning apparatus of this invention includes a culturing container, such as a Petrie dish, in which the oocytes and embryos are held for micromanipulation.

Abstract: A series of memorabilia pieces have markable areas for recording an autograph or signature and an information area for recording information about the autograph or signature (e.g., the person who signed it, the time, the place and other information). The pieces are readily autographed, signed, registered, collected, and displayed. The pieces can have many shapes and sizes and can include images related to a sport, profession, or pastime of collectability. For example, the pieces relate to a section of a collectable population, such as sports, music, acting, politics, auto racing and more. The pieces may be serialized to allow recording and identification. The items may be registered in a central recording archive.

Abstract: The invention relates to culturing dishes, which will be used for long-term, uninterrupted culturing of embryos in a controlled environment. The dishes will provide the embryos with ample amounts of culture media, with an oil overlay, to protect them from environmental impact, from contaminants, and will hold the embryos in a safe environment which will protect them from the effects of disruptions such as handling. The dishes contain uniquely designed specimen well bottoms which will allow accurate and repeated locating of the embryos as well as improving the imaging quality and the use of higher magnifications. This allows continual and repeated imaging of the embryos, data logging, aiding in the selection process, and will give the embryos a greater likelihood of improved growth, reimplantation capabilities and will increase successful outcomes, results and a greater likelihood of live births in this IVF environment.

Abstract: A tray assembly which may include a single well or a plurality of wells that will contain specimens for cryo-preservation, freezing, thawing, or warming. The assembly will include a structure whereby a sequence of different media solutions can be introduced into a well or wells in the assembly without the need to move the specimens and without disturbing an overlying oil layer which floats on top of the media solutions. The media solutions will be introduced into the specimen wells through adjunct passages which communicate with the interior of the wells. The adjunct passages will preferably be integral with the wells and will be formed at the same time the wells are formed. Thus manufacturing the assembly of this invention will be inexpensive and repetitive. The adjunct passages can be used to infuse different media solutions into the wells at different stages of the protocols in question. The wells can be inverted cones or pyramids in shape.

Abstract: This invention relates to a media solution, which has been shown to be a stabilized balance of growth media, which may contain a combination of proteins, insulin, growth hormones, and/or steroids to assist an embryo to grow from the retrieval stage through the return implantation. The media has shown consistent, improved results and overall embryonic outcome and may be used for culturing the embryos through each stage of growth, will reduce shock and stress to the embryos during the culturing process.
