The overlaying oil type influences in vitro embryo production: differences in composition and compound transfer into incubation medium between oils

Abstract The oil overlay micro-drop system is widely used for cultures of mammalian gametes and embryos. We evaluated hereby the effects of two unaltered commercial oils— Sigma mineral oil (S-MO) and Nidoil paraffin oil (N-PO)—on in vitro embryo production (IVP) outcomes using a pig model. The resul...
