On-Chip Enucleation of Bovine Oocytes using Microrobot-Assisted Flow-Speed Control

In this study, we developed a microfluidic chip with a magnetically driven microrobot for oocyte enucleation. A microfluidic system was specially designed for enucleation, and the microrobot actively controls the local flow-speed distribution in the microfluidic chip. The microrobot can adjust fluid...
