MEGA Assay
Modernizing Quality Control in IVF
FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific has developed an innovative, new genetic mouse embryo assay called MEGA. MEGA is more sensitive than the conventional mouse embryo assay and enables increased sensitivity for detecting embryotoxicity in raw materials prior to manufacture. Using embryos from a genetically-engineered mouse strain, MEGA employs fluorescence-based detection of developmentally-regulated gene expression to assess embryos throughout the development stages, including at the earliest stages of growth. With MEGA, your ability to detect suboptimal components is significantly improved.
