Notes:
Fertilized mouse eggs were centrifuged at 5,000g, 10,000g, 15,000g, and 20,000g for 3 and 10 min or at 25,000g for 10 min. The pronuclei of centrifuged eggs became more distinctive than those of uncentrifuged eggs. The proportion of centrifuged and uncentrifuged eggs that developed to blastocysts was not significantly different. There was also no significant difference in the proportion of live fetuses obtained following the transfer of blastocysts developed from centrifuged and uncentrifuged eggs. This study demonstrated that there is no effect of centrifugation on the subsequent development of mouse eggs.
