Embryo bisection. A. Custom built microblade fixed to a micromanipulator’s arm. The microblades were custom built with the dimensions of BD BeaverTM microblade 30° produced by Beaver Visitec International (Waltham, MA). B. Embryo bisection being performed with a microblade fixed to a micromanipulator using an inverted microscope with ×20 magnification (Nikon, Diaphot, Tokyo, Japan). The microblade was gently pressed against the middle of the embryo so that TE and ICM cells were evenly distributed on both sides.
