RECIPIENT DEVICE AND METHOD TO PROTECT IN VITRO CULTURED EMBRYOS AND CELLS AGAINST ATOMOSPHERIC SHOCK

摘要

A recipient device comprises a base (10) with a transparent bottom wall (11) and at least a sidewall portion (12) which defines, superiorly, a seat (S) for a removable and transparent lid (20), to be attached to the base (10), to be selectively switchable between a non-operant position, allowing fluid communication between the interior and exterior of the recipient device (R), and an operant position, hermetically sealing the recipient device (R) in an airtight manner, not allowing fluid communication between the interior and the exterior of said recipient device (R) which may be maintained inside an incubator, with the lid (20) in a non-operant position, until a control operation is desired, moment in which the lid (20) is switched to its operant position while still inside the incubator, maintaining the recipient device hermetically closed during its removal from the incubator.
