ABSTRACT:
An embryo collection dish has a cylindrical sidewall with an inlet tube which communicates with an animal uterus from which the embryos are flushed. A lid is engaged with the dish and clamps a sheet of filter material therebetween. In use the filter is disposed vertically and the embryo cattier fluid is discharged from the device through an outlet tube which extends from the lid. The vertical distance between the inlet and outlet tubes is adjustable to control the volume of liquid retained in the dish along with the embryos. The dish together with its contents may be placed directly under a microscope for selection and extraction of the collected embryos. The device is sufficiently compact and fluid tight that it may be placed within a users clothing during collection to keep the embryos warm. Alternatively, an intermediate ring may be provided which joins a reusable lid to a disposable dish.
