Table 1.
The comparative attributes of various CAM Assay methodologies.
| CAM Assay Methods | Attributes | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No of Eggs Experimented | Accessibility | Embryo Viability | Overall Efficiency | |
| In-ovo | 30 | Low | 85–95% | Low * |
| Ex-ovo (Petri Dishes and Paper Boats) | 15 (Petri Dishes) 15 (Paper Boats) |
High | 15–25% | Low * |
| Ex-ovo (Glasses) | 30 | High | 45–55% | Medium * |
| Cup-CAM | 462 | High | 85–95% | High * |
* 1. Low accessibility + 5–95% Embryo viability = Low efficiency; 2. High accessibility + 5–30% Embryo viability = Low efficiency; 3. High accessibility + 40–70% Embryo viability = Medium efficiency; 4. High accessibility + 70–95% Embryo viability = High efficiency; Embryo viability range = 5–95%.
