    Area of Science:

    • Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
    • Biotechnology
    • Microfluidics

    Background:

    • Conventional embryo manipulation in ART relies on pick-place techniques.
    • These methods necessitate precise alignment, risking embryo damage and limiting orientation control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, non-invasive technique for manipulating mouse embryos.
    • To develop a system for precise embryo positioning and orientation control.

    Main Methods:

    • A robotic dielectrophoresis (DEP) tweezers system was developed using a microchip with quadrupole electrodes.
    • A motorized platform and vision-based algorithms facilitated embryo mobility and feedback control.
    • The system integrates DEP tweezers with a micromanipulator for embryo handling.

    Main Results:

    • Successful manipulation of mouse embryos to specified locations with desired orientations was demonstrated.
    • The DEP tweezers enabled grasping without precise alignment, reducing processing time.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed system offers a non-contact, low-cost, and flexible method for rapid cell handling.
    • This technique significantly enhances efficiency in embryo processing for ART applications.
