The culture vessel is formed out of an oxygen-permeable silicone hydrogel, and physical stimulation is added to the fertilized egg 8 in the channel 2 by repeatedly changing the shape of the channel 2 by compressing the culture vessel 1 in the axial direction of the channel or compressing the vicinity of the channel 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
