Summary

The addition of polyethylene glycol significantly improved oocyte normality to 95%. Rates of fertilization and development to blastocyst were also improved. The addition of 1 milligramme/1 millilitre to a 6 mole DMSO solution resulted in greatly improved viability of oocytes following cryopreservation and vastly reduced the variability seen with the DMSO solution alone.
