Re: Cook media correct use
After denuding oocytes for ICSI I prefer to keep in Fertilisation media, and ICSI is also done using fertilisation media (minimal exposure during ICSI precedure). At a time only 4 to 5 oocytes are loaded in ICSI dish, so that there is no risk of long exposure. Post ICSI the cleavage media is used to culture the embryos.
