The present invention provides coated single cells or embryos having a protective micro-coating of hydrocolloid. The present invention further provides methods of coating single cells or embryos with a hydrocolloid such as an alginate, low-methoxy pectin (LMP), and carrageenans to provide a micro-coating. The coating serves as a barrier to pathogenic contamination and hazardous materials and protects against damage during freezing and thawing, thus improving survival prospects. |
