| Abstract | Oxygen consumption (respiration activity) has been found to be the most remarkable criterion for determining the viability of an embryo produced in vitro. In this study, we propose an accurate, simple, and user-friendly device for measurement of the oxygen consumption of single mammalian embryos. An integrated electrode array was fabricated to determine the oxygen consumption of a single embryo, including the blastocyst stage, which has an inhomogeneous oxygen consumption rate, using a single measurement procedure. A single mouse embryo was positioned in a microwell at the center of an integrated electrode array, using a mouthpiece pipette, and immobilized by a cylindrical micropit with good reproducibility. The oxygen consumption of two-cell, morula, and blastocyst stages was measured amperometrically using the device. The recorded current profile was corrected to take into consideration transient background current during the measurement. A calculation method for oxygen consumption based on spherical diffusion centered on the defined point of the device was developed. This procedure is quite simple because it is not necessary to estimate the radius of the embryo being measured. The calculated values of oxygen consumption for two-cell, morula, and blastocyst stages were 1.36±0.33×10(-15) mol s(-1), 1.38±0.58×10(-15) mol s(-1), and 3.44±2.07×10(-15) mol s(-1), respectively. The increasing pattern of oxygen consumption from morula to blastocyst agreed well with measurements obtained using conventional scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
